CAPO: 3rd Fret
Intro: Em C G D Em C G D
Em
I used to hear him sing in a Bleeker Street bar
G
On that tiny stage, with a borrowed guitar
D
His voice cutting through like a speeding car
C
Tearing through the deals of the brokers at the bar
Em
They sold everything for a Wall Street wage
G
A rich man's money is a rich man's cage
D
Pockets full of gold and a dead man's face
C
There was life in those eyes, though there's not a trace
Chorus:
G
How much did it cost you
D
How much did you pay
Em C
And are you sorry, at the end of the day
G D Em C G D
Are you sorry, at the end of the day
Em
She used to be a friend and a wife and a daughter
G
Now she's walked on everybody, like she's walking on water
D
She kissed you on the mouth, while she take what you give her
C
But I turned the other cheek, when she walked away forever
Em
'Cause you're just another rung on the ladder to the top
G
Once she started climbing, she could never stop
D
With her entourage around her, she sits on her throne
C
She's the queen of nothing now, sitting all alone
Chorus:
G
How much did it cost you
D
How much did you pay
Em C
And are you sorry, at the end of the day

Are you sorry, at the end of the day

At the end of the day

And you found out what you wanted

Well, it isn't what you need

And you cursed the strange writing
G C D
You curse it, but you never leave

Well, there's a way, there's a way

How much did you pay
