#The Only Ones - "You've Got to Pay"
#Album: Even Serpents Shine
#
# It's a tragedy that this band's songs aren't tabbed anywhere. They're
#brilliant and really not that difficult to work out or play, even for me, a
#total amateur. So I've taken on the task of posting some of their songs'
#chords for your rockin' pleasure, and hopefully others will take the cue and
#work out some more of their songs and more detailed tabs. Please point out
#corrections as needed, since they may not be perfect. Long live The Only
#Ones!

#"You've Got to Pay"
#
#(Sounds fine along with the recording when played with barre chords or power
#
chords. The little riff after the chorus is F#-F#-E-D#-B-C#-C#.)

#
B E F# B
I had to choose which one to lose
B E F# B
I couldn't do it for they each had their use
B E F# B
It was so hard, tearing apart
B E F# B
Now I know you gotta get it right at the start
E F#
I learnt my lesson now
B E
I learnt it the hard way
E F#
If you wanna be in love
E F# B
You've gotta pay and pay and pay
B E F# B
After the pain that was suffered in vain
B E F# B
The dark roads we travelled, with nothing to gain
B E F# B
And though the pleasures, will always be treasured
B E F# B
It's a shame it came to such drastic measures
E F#
Indecision, lack of conviction
B E
Slurred diction failing what you're trying to say
E F#
If you are a slave to love
E F# B
You're gonna pay and pay and pay
B E F# B
Our flightpath's a gradual descent, from the firmament
B E F# B
I can tell by the tone of the letters you sent
B E F# B
What was once sacred is now filled with hatred
B E F# B
How come such love can be dissipated?
E F# B E
I've had enough of all this poison and decay
E F#
If you wanna come face to face with love
E F# B
You've gotta pay and pay and pay
