I feel tears welling up, cooling [D] deep inside Like my heart sprung a [A] few bricks
And the stab of loneliness, sharp and painful [B] That I may never [E] shake
[A] You might say that I was taking it hard [D] Since you wrote me off with [A] a call
But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow When [E] I'm a wrecked, wracked, down [A] and bow
Now the race is on and here comes pride at the [D] backstretch
Heartaches are going [A] to the inside My tears are holding back
[Bm] They're trying not [Em] to fall
[A] My heart's out of the running True [D] love's scratched for [A] another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches [E] And the winner loses all

[D] [A]
[E] [A] One day I ventured in love [D] Never once suspecting what the final [A] result would be
How I lived in fear of waking up each morning [B] And finding that you'd [E] gone from me
[A] There's aching and pain in my heart for the [D] day But the one that I headed [A] to face
Somebody new came up to win her And [E] I came [Em] out in [A] second place
Now the race is on and here comes pride at the [D] backstretch
Heartaches are [A] going to the inside My tears are holding [B] back
They're trying [E] not to fall

The race is on and it looks like heartaches [E] And the winner [A] loses [D] all
