The Race Is On
[E]I feel tears wellin' up cold deep inside
like [A]my heart's sprung a big [E]break
[E]and a stab of loneliness sharp and painful
that [F#]I may never [B]shake
[E]You might say that I was taking it hard
since you [A]wrote me off with a [E]call
[E]But don't you wager that I'll hide in sorrow
[E]when I may lay [B]right down and [E]bawl
Chorus
(no chords)
Now the race is on
[E]and here comes pride in the backstreatch
[A]Heartaches [E]goin' to the inside
[E]My tears are holdin' back
[E]They're [F#]tryin' not to [B]fall
[E]My hearts out of the runnin'
[E]True love's [A]scratched for another's [E]sake
[E]The race is on and it looks like heartaches
[E]and the [B]winner looses [E]all
One day I [E]ventured in love
[E]never once suspectin' what the [A]final result would [E]be
[E]and how I lived in fear of waking up each morning
[E]finding [F#]that you're gone from [B]me
[E]There's ache and pain in my heart
[E]for today was the [A]one that I hated to [E]face
[E]Somebody new came up to win her
[E]and I came [B]out in second [E]place
