The Price You Pay - Bruce Springsteen

Intro: G  CG  CG Bm, G CG CGD G


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 on 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

            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

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        A7 C
That counts the men fallen away, to the price you pay,
                    G             D                              C
And girl before the end of the day, I’m gonna tear it down and throw it away

Outro: G  CG  CG Bm, G CG CG D
