Emmylou Harris - The price you pay

^CYou make up your mind you choose the ^Fchance you take You ride to where the ^Chighway ends and the ^G7desert breaks Out on to an ^Copen road you ride ^Funtil the day You learn to ^Csleep at night ^G7with the ^Cprice you pay

Now with their hands held high they reached out for the ^Fopen skies And then with t^Cheir last breath they built the roads They would ^G7ride to their deaths Driving on ^Cthrough the night unable to ^Fbreak away From the ^Crestless pull ^G7of the ^Fprice you pay

Oh the p^Crice you pay oh the ^Fprice you pay Now you can't ^Cwalk away ^G7from the price you^C pay

Now they'd come so far and they'd ^Fwaited so long Just to end up caught in a ^Cdream where everything ^G7goes wrong Where the ^Cdark of night holds back the ^Flight of the day And you've gotta ^Cstand and fight ^G7for the ^Fprice you pay

^CLittle girl down on the strand With that pretty little baby ^Fin your hands Do you ^Cremember the story of the ^G7promised land How he crossed the ^Cdesert sands And could not enter the ^Fchosen land On the banks of the ^Criver he stayed ^G7To face the ^Cprice you pay

^CSo let the games start you better run you little ^Fwild heart You can ^Crun through all the nights and all the ^G7days But just across the ^Ccounty line A stranger passing through ^Fput up a sign That counts so many ^Cfallen away ^G7to the ^Fprice you pay

Oh the ^Cprice you pay oh the ^Fprice you pay Now you can't^C walk away^G7 from the^F price you pay Oh the ^Cprice you pay oh the ^Fprice you pay Now you can't ^Cwalk away ^G7from the ^Fprice you ^Cpay
