5   -4  4  -3  4 -3 -3”
How long I have wan-te-d

 5    -4   6   -5  5 -5 5
This dream to come tr-u-e

 5  -4 4  -3 4 -3 -3”
And as it a-ppro-a-ches

5  -4    -4 6   -5    5 -5
I can't believe I'm thro-ugh

5     -4    6
I've tried, oh

-6   6    -6
How I've tried

 5  5  -5   -5 -5  5
For a life, yes a life

-4  -4   -4  4
I thought I knew

CHORUS:

-3” 4   -4    5   5  -5 5  -4
Oh it's the price we gotta pay

-4   5  -4    4   4  -4 4   -3
And all the games we gotta play

-3”   -3  4  4  -4  4    -3   -3 -3 -3” 3 -3”
Makes me wonder if it's worth it to carry on

  -3”   4  -4  5   5  -5 5   -4  
'Cause it's a game we gotta lose

-4      5  -4   4  4  -4 4   -3
Though it's a life we gotta choose

-3” -3   4    4  -4   4   -3  -3 -3” 3   -3”
And the price is our own life until it's done

 5    -4   4   -3   4 -3 -3”
Time seems to have fro-ze-n

 5   5  -4    6  -5  5 -5 5
But the mind can be fo-o-led

5   5  -4    -4  4 -3 4 -3 -3”
As the days pass I dis-cov-e-r

5 5 -4  -4    6    -5  5 -5
Destiny just can't be ru-led

5     -4    6
Hard times, oh

-6    -6
Hard times

 5   5   -5    -5  -5    5
For the prize, yes the prize,

-4  -4   -4  4
I thought I knew
