The Race Is On

     A                       E
Like my heart's sprung a big break
      E                  E
And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful
     F#         B
More than I can take
     E                       E
You might have thought I was takin' it hard
        A                  E
When you broke it off with a call
              A                      E
But don't you wager I'm gon' hide my sorrow
           B                    E
Just might break right down and bawl

N.C.             E                 E
Now, the race is on and here comes Pride up the backstretch
A              E
Heartaches are cuttin' through my inside
E
My Tears are holdin' back
F#            B
Tryin' not to fall
E                     E
My Heart's out of the runnin'
          A                       E
True Love scratched for another's sake
                A                      E
Now the race is on and it lookin' like Heartache
        B                   E
And the winner gon' lose it all.

N.C.
One day I wagered in love, never once suspectin'
         A                  E
What the final result would be
      E                       E
And I lived in fear of wakin' up each morning
    F#                            B
And findin' that you're gone from me
        E
There's ache and pain in my heart
                  A                   E
For today was the one that I hated to face
         A              E
Somebody new come up to win her
      B                  E
And I ended up in second place

N.C.            E
Now the race is on and here comes Pride up the backstretch
A          E
Heartaches cuttin' through my inside
E
My Tears are holdin' back
        F#            B
They're tryin' not to fall
E
My Heart's out of the runnin'
            A                       E
True Love's scratched for another's sake
                A                      E
Now The race is on and it lookin' like Heartache
        B                   E
And the winner gon' lose it all.
