Intro: 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
