The Race Is On

Verse: 
       G                           G               C                   G 
I feel tears welling up from down deep inside,like my hearts got a big break 
      G                                        A            D 
And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful that I may never shake. 
G                                                C                   G 
You might think that Im taking it hard since you broke me off with a call, 
          G                                         D                  G       C-G 
You might wager that Ill hide in sorrow and I might lay right down and bawl.

                G                                   
Now the race is on and here comes pride up the back stretch, 
C                               G                           A            D 
Heartaches a goin to the inside, My tears are holding back, tryin not to fall. 
G                                       C                       G 
My hearts our of the running, true love scratched for another's sake, 
            G                                        D            G        C-G 
The race is on and it looks like heartaches, and the winner loses all.

One day I ventured in love never once suspecting what the final result would be. 
      G                                          A                            D 
Now I live in fear of waking up each morning,and finding that youre gone from me. 
           G                                            C                  G 
There's an aching pain in my heart for the name of the one that I hated to face, 
        G                                    D             G          C-G 
Someone else came out to win her, and I came out in second place.
