The Race Is On

[nc] i feel tears wellin' up cold and deep inside

Like my [d] heart's sprung a big [a] break

And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful

[e] that i may never shake

You might [a] say that i was taking it hard

Oh, she [d] wrote me off with a [a] call

But don't you wager that i'll hide the sorrow

When i may [e] break right down and [a] bawl?

[nc] well, the race is [a] on and here comes pride up the backstretch

[d] heartaches are going to the in-[a] side

My tears are holding back

They're tryin' [e] not to fall

[a] my heart's out of the running

True love's [d] scratched for another's [a] sake

The race is on and it looks like heartaches

And the [e] winner loses [a] all.



One day i ventured in love, never once suspectin'

What the final result would be

How i lived in fear of waking up each morning

And thinkin' that you're gone from me

There's ache and pain in my heart

For today was the one that i hated to face

Somebody new came up to win her

I came out in second place.
