The Price You Pay Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C](Bruce Springsteen)
You make up your mind,
you choose the [F]chance you take
You ride to where the [C]highway ends
an[G]d the desert breaks
Out on through an [C]open road
you ride [F]un til the day
You learn [C]to sleep at [G]night
with [C]the price you pay

[Verse 2]
Now with their [C]hands held high,
they reached out for the [F]open skies
And then with [C]their last breath
They built the roads [G]they would
ride to their deaths
Driving on [C]through the night
unable to [F]break away
>From the [C]restless [G]pull
of [F]the price you pay

[Verse 3]
Oh, the [C]price you pay, oh,
the [F]price you pay
Now you can't [C]walk [G]away
from the [C]price you [F]pay

[Verse 4]
Now they've [C]come so far and
they've [F]waited so long
Just to end up [C]caught in a dream where
[G]everything goes wrong
Where the [C]dark of night holds
back the [F]light of the day
And you gotta [C]stand and fight
[G]for the[F] price you pay

[Verse 5]
Oh, the [C]price you pay, oh,
the [F]price you pay
Now you can't [C]walk [G]away from the [C]price you

[Verse 6]
Little girl down [C]on the strand
With that pretty little baby in [F]your hands
Do you re[C]member the story
[G]of the Promised land
How he crossed the [C]desert sands
And could not enter the [F]Chosen Land
On the banks of the [C]river [G]he stayed
To face [C]the price you pay

[Verse 7]
So let the games start
[G]You better run[C] you little wil[F]d heart
You can [C]run through all the
nights and all [G]the days
But just across the [C]county line
A stranger passin' through [F]put up a sign
That counts so many [C]fallen [G]away
To [F]the price you pay,

[Verse 8]
Oh, the [C]price you pay, oh,
[F]the price you pay
Now you can't [C]walk [G]away
from [F]the price you pay
[G]Oh, the

[Verse 9]
[C]price you pay, oh,

Now you can't [C]walk [G]away
from the [F]price you pay
