Key: G

Introduction:

difficulty
very easy |||||
               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 
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 
The race is on and it looks like heartaches, and the winner loses all.
(Solo: Chorus and VERSE progressions)
                       G                                                                                           C                                   G 
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 
Someone else came out to win her, and I came out in second place.
                                 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 
The race is on and it looks like heartaches, and the winner loses all.
(Solo: Chorus and VERSE progressions)

Now the race is on and here comes pride up the back stretch,
 C                                                             G                                                     A                       D

 G                                                                             C                                             G 
My hearts our of the running, true love scratched for another's sake,
                         G                                                                               D                       G               C
