The Price by Twisted Sister
The Price
Bd C Dm
how long i have wanted
this dream to come true
and as it approaches
i can't believe i'm through
F C
i've tried,
Dm
oh, how i've tried
Bd F
for a life, yes a life
C Dm
i'm on to
F C
oh it's the price we gotta pay
F C
and all the games we gotta play
F C Dm
makes me wonder if it's worth it to carry on
F C
'cause it's a game we gotta lose,
F C
though it's a life we gotta choose
F C Dm
and the price is our own life until it's gone
Bd C Dm
time seems to have frozen,
but the mind can be fooled
as the days pass i discover
destiny just can't be ruled
F C
hard times,
C Dm
oh hard times,
Bd F
for the prize, yes the prize,
C Dm
i'm on to
F C
oh it's the price we gotta pay
F C
and all the games we gotta play
F C Dm
makes me wonder if it's worth it to carry on
F C
'cause it's a game we gotta lose,
F C
though it's a life we gotta choose
F C Dm
and the price is our own life until it's gone

How long I have wanted this dream to come true
And as it approaches I can't believe I'm through
I've tried, oh, how I've tried for the life oh the life
I'm on to
Oh it's the price you've gotta pay
And all the games you've gotta play
Makes me wonder if it's worth it to carry on
Cause it's a game we've gotta loose
Though it's a life we've gotta choose
And the price is your whole life until it's gone
Time seems to have frozen but the mind can't be fooled
As the days pass I discover destinty just can't be ruled
Hard times, oh, hard times, for the price yes the price
I'm on to

Lyrics:
Verse 1
How long I have wanted,
this dream to come true.
And as it approaches,
I can't believe I'm through.
Pre-Chorus
I've tried,
oh how I've tried,
for the life, yes the life
I thought I knew.
Chorus
Oh it's the price we have to pay,
and all the games we gotta play.
Makes me wonder if it's worth it to carry on.
Cause it's a game we gotta lose,
though it's a life we gotta choose.
And the price is on our life until its done.
Verse 2
Time seems to have frozen.
But the mob can't be fooled.
As the days pass I discover,
destiny just can't be ruled.
Pre Chorus 2
Hard times,
oh hard times,
for the price, yes the price
I thought I knew.
Chorus
Oh it's the price we have to pay,
and all the games we gotta play.
Makes me wonder if it's worth it to carry on.
Cause it's a game we gotta lose,
though it's a life we gotta choose.
And the price is on our life until its done.
