[C] You [Bm]
[G] [C] [G]
make up your mind, you [C] choose the chance you take.
You ride [G] to where the highway ends [D] and the desert breaks.
[G] Out onto an open road, you [C] ride until the day.
You [G] learn to sleep at [D] night with [C] the price you pay.
[G] Now with their hands held high, they reach [C] out for the open skies.
[G] And in one last breath, they build the [D] roads, they ride you there.
[G] Driving on through the night, [C] unable to break away
[G] from the restless [D] pull of [C] the price you pay.
Oh, [G] the price you pay, [C] oh, the price you pay.
[G] Now you can't walk [D] away from [C] the price you pay.
[G] Now they've come so far, [C] and they've waited so long.
Just [G] in the corner of a dream, [D] where everything goes wrong.
[G] Where the dark of night [C] holds back the light of the day.
They've [G] done spending five [D] for [C] the price you pay.
Oh, [G] the price you pay, oh, [C] the price you pay.
Now you can't walk [D] away from [C] the price you pay.
[G] [C]
[Bm] [G] [C]
[D] [C]
[G] Little girl down on the strand, with that pretty [C] little baby in your hands.
[G] Do you remember the story [D] of the promised land?
How we [G] crossed the desert sand, and could not [C] enter the chosen land.
On the [G] banks of every [D] stay, to [C] face the price you pay.
[G] So let the game start, you better [C] run you little wild heart.
[G] You can run through all the nights and [D] all the days.
But [G] just across the county line, stranger [C] passing through put up a sign.
The [G] councilman falling [D] away, [Em] to the price you [C] pay.
[G] Girl before the end of the [D] day, I'm gonna [C] tear it down.
