The Price You Pay

Intro: G   C G   C G D   Bm

You make up your mind, you choose 
     C
the chance you take
                       G           
You ride to where the highway ends 
         D
and the desert breaks
              G                
Out on to an open road you ride 
  C
until the day
              G           D       
You learn to sleep at nigth with 
    C
the price you pay

               G                   
Now with their hands held high, 
                       C
they reached out for the open skies
        G                        
And in one last breath they built 
                  D
the roads they'd ride to their death
             G                     
Driving on through the night, 
      C
unable to break away
          G          D         C
From the restless pull of the price 
you pay

          G                     C
Oh, the price you pay, oh, the price
 you pay
Continues after the ad
               G       D       
Now you can't walk away from the 
   C
price you pay

           G                     
Now they'd come so far and they'd 
  C
waited so long
                G               
Just to end up caught in a dream 
         D
where everything goes wrong
           G                       
Where the dark of night holds back 
     C
the light of day
                  G            D  
And you've gotta stand and fight 
        C
for the price you pay

          G                     C
Oh, the price you pay, oh, the price
 you pay
               G       D       
Now you can't walk away from the 
   C
price you pay

Little girl down on the strand with 
                        C
that pretty little baby in your 
hands
        G                       
Do you remember the story of the 
    D
promised land
                    G              
How he crossed the desert sands and
                      C
 could not enter the chosen land
                     G             
On the banks of the river he stayed
D             C
 to face the price you pay

            G                    
So let the game start, you better 
                 C
run you little wild heart
         G                         
You can run through all the nights 
             D
and all the days
                     G             
But just across the county line, a 
                           C
stranger passing through put up a 
sign
                     G             
That counts the man fallen away to 
      Em         C                
the price you pay, and girl before
     G
 the end of the day
D                           C
I'm gonna tear it down and throw it 
away
