Verse 1:

I got shot off my horse

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

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
