The Price You Pay - Bruce Springsteen
[Intro]
|G |C G |C G |Bm7 |

[Verse]
G C
You make up your mind, you choose the chance you take
G D
You ride to where the highway ends, and the desert breaks
G C
Out on to an open road, you ride until the day
G D C
You learn to sleep at night, with the price you pay
G C
Now with their hands held high, they reached out for the open skies
G D
And in one last breath they built the roads they'd ride to their death
G C
Driving on through the night, unable to break away
G D C
From the restless pull, of the price you pay
[Chorus]
G C
Oh, the price you pay, oh, the price you pay
G D C
Now you can't walk away, from the price you pay
[Verse]
G C
Now they'd come so far, and they'd waited so long
G D
Just to end up caught in a dream, where everything goes wrong
G C
Where the dark of night, holds back the light of the day
G D C
And you've gotta stand and fight, for the price you pay
[Chorus]
G C
Oh, the price you pay, oh, the price you pay
G D C
Now you can't walk away, from the price you pay
[Harp Solo]

[Verse]
G C
Little girl down on the strand, with that pretty little baby in your hands
G D
Do you remember, the story of the promised land
G C
How he crossed the desert sands, and could not enter the chosen land
G D C
On the banks of the river he stayed, to face the price you pay
G C
So let the game start, you better run you little wild heart
G D
You can run through all the nights, and all the days
G C
But just across the county line, a stranger passing through put up a sign
G D Em C
That counts the men fallen away, to the price you pa-ay,
G D C
And girl before the end of the day, I'm gonna tear it down and throw it away
