[Verse 1]
A D
I was down so long
A D
Everything was goin' wrong
A D
And the people all around me
A D
Got the news
A D
Lord and everything I tried
A D
Fell to pieces and slowly died
A D
My soul was going broke
A D
From paying dues
[Verse 2]
A D
I was very nearly beat
A D
When I crawled back to my feet
A D
Believing that a change
A D
Was overdue
A D
Now I'm pickin' up the pieces
A D
And takin' out new leases
A D
Gettin' ready for the things
A
I want to do
[Chorus]
Bm A
And you know I'm ready
G
How tough is it gonna be
Bm A
Are you ready
G
Don't keep asking me
D C
If I'm ready, yea, yea
Bm
Leave it up to me
Em
I'm ready as I'm gonna be
A
I'm ready finally

[Verse 3]
D G
Lord I'm ready to make my way
D G
Take it slowly from day to day
D G
Take it easy on myself
D G
As I roll along
D G
Lord knows it's down to me
D G
To write the melody
D G
To sing my own words
D
To the song
[Chorus]
Bm A
And you know I'm ready
G
How tough is it gonna be
Bm A
Are you ready
G
Don't keep asking me
D C
If I'm ready, yea, yea
Bm
Leave it up to me
Em
I'm ready as I'm gonna be
A
I'm ready finally

Are you ready, yes I'm ready, yes I'm ready
