The Price You Pay - Bruce Springsteen
| G | C G | C G D | Bm | G | C G | C G D | 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 nigth 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
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 day
G D C
And you've gotta stand and fight for the price you pay
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

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 Em C G
That counts the man fallen away to the price you pay, and girl before the end of the day
D C
I'm gonna tear it down and throw it away
