Verse 1:
   D
I got shot off my horse
Dmaj7     G
So what? I'm up again
G                   D  Dmaj7
Playin' in one of these big saloons on main
    G      A            D      Dmaj7
You can come up here take a look around these sinners dens
    G
You're only ever goin' to find
        A
One or two real games
G     D       A
Nobody's drivin' me underground
D    A
Not yet anyway
  D         Dmaj7   G
But either on the strip or on the edge of town

Chorus:
G
Everybody pays
G         D
Everybody pays to play

Verse 2:
D               Dmaj7      G
Yeah, you ought to stay right where you are in Sawdust Land
G                 D Dmaj7
It's probably the safest place to be
     G
With your greasy little pork pies
A    D     Dmaj7
And your shoestring hands
G           A
Makes no difference to me
G     D          A
All those directions which we never took
D          A
To go our different ways
D           Dmaj7    G
Who went and wrote the oldest story in the book?

Chorus:
G
Everybody pays
G         D
Everybody pays to play

Verse 3:
D        Dmaj7      G
Curl up inside a boxcar dream and disappear
G            D    Dmaj7
With a couple low roller friends
     G       A
You were never one for trouble
    D      Dmaj7
So get out of here
 G                A
I knew the game was dangerous back then
  G    D           A
But nobody's breezin' through these swingin' doors
D         A
Just ups and walks away
D        Dmaj7         G
Everybody has to leave some blood here on the floor

Chorus:
G
Everybody pays
G         D
Everybody pays to play
