v.1
-- I feel tears wellin' up cold and deep inside
CLike my heart's gonna be Gbreakin'
GAnd the stab of lonliness Esharp an' painful
That AI may never Dshake
GYou might say that I was takin it hard
Since you Cwrote me off with a Gcall
GBut don't you wager that I'll hide in Esorrow
When I might Abreak right Ddown and Gbawl
Chorus:
-- Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch
CHeartache goin' to the inside
GMy tears are Eholdin' back, Atryin not to Dfall
GMy heart's out of the runnin', true love Cscratched for another's Gsake
GThe race is on and it looks like Eheartache
And the Awinner Dloses Gall
Instr. Brk.
v.2
One day I ventured in love never once suspectin'
What the final result would be
How I live in fear of wakin' up each mornin'
An findin' that you're gone from me
There's a achin' pain in my heart for the name
Of the one I headed to face
Somebody new came up to win her
An I came out in second place
