Doctor can you tell me
C#mi F#mi
Are there any signs of life?
I can hear her breathing
Can she hear my voice?
Can she make out the lights above us from the strip?
I said tell me the truth,
But he just licked his lips and smiled
D A
That's just the price you pay
D A
That's just the price you pay
D A Hmi E
That's just the price you pay
Doctor I'm leaving
But don't turn out the lights
There'll be a cigarette burn victim
Who just like me has lost the strength to stand and fight
Above all it made me sick
I wanted the truth
But he just licked his lips and smiled
That's just the price you pay
That's just the price you pay
That's just the price you pay, you pay
A
Until you get out of here, you look to your side
D E
You see the day fall away and the night open wide
A
You face to your fear but you keep it inside
D
Run away if you can
E
I really don't mind
Doctor I'm leaving
There's not much left to say
You break the news gently
But we both know
It's a dirty job anyway
Above all it should make you sick
They beg for the truth
But you just lick your lips and you smile
It's just the price you pay
It's just the price you pay
It's just the price you pay, you pay
So you get out of here and look to your side
You see the day fall away and the night open wide
You face to your fear but you keep it inside
Run away if you can
You really don't mind
You get out of here and look to your side
You see the day fall away and the night open wide
You go face to your fear that you keep by the side
Run away if you can
I really don't mind
