Bruce Springsteen - The Price You Pay: chords

         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

Now with their hands held high,
they reached out for the open skies
And in one last breath, they built
the roads they'd ride to their death
Driving on through the night, unable to break away
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

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

Chorus

Little girl, down on the strand
With that pretty little baby in your hands
Do you remember the story of the promised land?
How he crossed the desert sands
And could not enter the chosen land
On the banks of the river, he stayed
To face the price you pay

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