The Price I Pay
(Billy Bragg)
[Intro]
G  Em  C  G  D
My fGriend said she could see nEmo way ahead
And AI was probably better off withouCt you
She said to faGce up to the fact that yEmou weren't coming back
And sAhe could make me happy like yoCu used to
But I'm Gsorry to say I turB7ned her away
KnowCing everything she said was Cmtrue
And that's the prGice I pay for lovEming you the way that CI doG  D  
There's someGthing inside that huEmrts my foolish pride
To visiAt the places we used to go togeCther
Not a dGay goes by that I don't sEmit and wonder why
Your feelAings for me didn't last foCrever
Girl I love Gyou so much that someB7times it's such
I'd walk a miCle with a stone in my shCmoe
And that's the Gprice I pay for loviEmng you the way that I Cdo  (2Gx)D  
G  Em  A  C
