The Race Is On
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
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
