The Race Is On

E
I feel tears wellin' up cold deep inside
     A                       E  
like my heart's sprung a big break
E
and a stab of loneliness sharp and painful
     F#          B
that I may never shake
E
You might say that I was taking it hard
          A                   E
since you wrote me off with a call
E
But don't you wager that I'll hide in sorrow
E              B              E 
when I may lay right down and bawl



Chorus 
(no chords)
Now the race is on
E
and here comes pride in the backstreatch
A          E 
Heartaches goin' to the inside
E
My tears are holdin' back
E       F#            B 
They're tryin' not to fall
E
My hearts out of the runnin'
E           A                       E
True love's scratched for another's sake
E
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
E       B             E 
and the winner looses all



          E
One day I ventured in love
E                              A                  E
never once suspectin' what the final result would be
E
and how I lived in fear of waking up each morning 
E       F#                    B
finding that you're gone from me 
E
There's ache and pain in my heart
E                 A                   E
for today was the one that I hated to face
E
Somebody new came up to win her 
E          B             E
and I came out in second place
