The Price I Pay
           (Billy Bragg)

intro: G  Em  C  G  D

    G                         Em
My friend said she could see no way ahead
    A                               C
And I was probably better off without you
              G                       Em
She said to face up to the fact that you weren't coming back
     A                             C
And she could make me happy like you used to
        G                 B7
But I'm sorry to say I turned her away
    C                          Ab Maj7
Knowing everything she said was true
                 G                Em                   C     G  D
And that's the price I pay for loving you the way that I do

            G                   Em
There's something inside that hurts my foolish pride
       A                              C
To visit the places we used to go together
       G                        Em
Not a day goes by that I don't sit and wonder why
         A                         C
Your feelings for me didn't last forever
           G                     B7
Girl I love you so much that sometimes it's such
             C                       Ab Maj7
I'd walk a mile with a stone in my shoe
              G                    Em                   C      G  D
And that's that price I pay for loving you the way that I do  (2x)

G  Em  A  C
G  Em  A  C

               G                            B7
So keep that phone out of my way for the things I must say
       C                            Ab Maj7
Are empty if you don't believe they're true
              G                      Em                 C     G  D
And that's that price I pay for loving you the way that I do
              G                 Em                 C     G  D
That's the price I pay for loving you the way that I do

       G        Em
I love you so much that baby it's such
             A                       C
I'd walk a mile with a stone in my shoe  ...
