Emmylou Harris - The Price You Pay

  



(verse 1)
D                                     G 
You make up your mind  you choose the chance you take,
                      D                    A 
You ride to where the highway ends and the desert breaks,
             D                  G 
Out on to an open road you ride until the day,
             D              A        D 
You learn to sleep at night with the price you pay,



(verse 2)
D                                                        
Now with their hands held high, 
                         G 
They reached out for the open skies,
               D                   
And then with their last breath they built the roads,
           A 
They would ride to their deaths,
            D                            G 
Driving on through the night, unable to  break away,
         D             A      G   
From the restless pull of the price you pay,


(chorus)
        D                      G 
Oh, the price you pay, oh, the price you pay
              D          A       D          G 
Now you can't walk away from the price you pay



(verse 3) 	 
Now they'd come so far and they'd 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)
        D                      G 
Oh, the price you pay, oh, the price you pay,
              D          A       D          G 
Now you can't walk away from the price you pay,



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



(verse 4)
D                                                  G  
So let the games start, you better run you little wild heart
        D                                      A 
You can run through all the nights and all the days
                    D                 
But just across the county line,
                             G 
A stranger  passing through put up a sign
                    D           A      G 
That counts so many fallen away to the price you pay, 


(ending chorus)
        D                      G 
Oh, the price you pay, oh, the price you pay
              D          A       G 
Now you can't walk away from the price you pay
        D                      G 
Oh, the price you pay, oh, the price you pay
              D          A       G          D    G    D 
Now you can't walk away from the price you pay
