The Price You Pay

(início)

C#                                    F#
You make up your mind  you choose the chance you take
                      C#                   G#
You ride to where the highway ends and the desert breaks
             C#                 F#
Out on to an open road you ride until the day
             C#             G#       C#
You learn to sleep at night with the price you pay
Now with their hands held high,
                         F#
they reached out for the open skies
               C#
And then with their last breath they built the roads
           G#
They would ride to their deaths
            C#                           F#
Driving on through the night, unable to  break away
         C#            G#     F#
>From the restless pull of the price you pay
        C#                     F#
Oh, the price you pay, oh, the price you pay
              C#         G#      C#               F#
Now you can't walk away from the price you pay
C#                                F#
Now they'd come so far and they'd waited so long
               C#                              G#
Just to end up caught in a dream where  everything goes wrong
          C#                           F#
Where the dark of night holds back the light of the day
                  C#             G#      F#
And you've gotta stand and fight for the price you pay
        C#                     F#
Oh, the price you pay, oh, the price you pay
              C#         G#      C#             F#
Now you can't walk away from the price you pay

Little girl down on the strand
                             F#
With that pretty little baby in your hands
       C#                         G#
Do you remember the story of the  promised land
                    C#
How he crossed the desert sands
                        F#
And could not enter the chosen land
                    C#
On the banks of the river he stayed
G#          C#
To face the price you pay
                                                  F#
So let the games start, you better run you little wild heart
        C#                                     G#
You can run through all the nights and all the days
                    C#
But just across the county line,
                             F#
A stranger  passing through put up a sign
                    C#          G#     F#
That counts so many fallen away to the price you pay,
        C#                     F#
Oh, the price you pay, oh, the price you pay
              C#         G#      F#
Now you can't walk away from the price you pay
        C#                     F#
Oh, the price you pay, oh, the price you pay
              C#         G#      F#                C#   F#   C#
Now you can't walk away from the price you pay
