I feel tears welling up, cooling deep [D] inside like my heart's from a [A] big grave
And the stab of loneliness, sharp and painful, [B] I may never [E]
shake
[A] You might say I was taking you hard when [D] she wrote me off with a [A] call
But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow when I [E] may break right down [A] and fall
Well, the race is on and here comes pride at the backstage
[D]
Heartaches are going to the [A] inside, my tears are holding back
[B] They're trying not [G#] to fall
[A] My heart's out of the running, through [D] the scratch for another [A] sin
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
[E] And the winner [A] loses all
