Georgia Satellites - The Race Is On lyrics

[nc] i feel tears wellin' up cold and deep inside Like my [d] heart's sprung a big [a] break And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful [e] that i may never shake You might [a] say that i was taking it hard Oh, she [d] wrote me off with a [a] call But don't you wager that i'll hide the sorrow When i may [e] break right down and [a] bawl? [nc] well, the race is [a] on and here comes pride up the backstretch [d] heartaches are going to the in-[a] side My tears are holding back They're tryin' [e] not to fall [a] my heart's out of the running True love's [d] scratched for another's [a] sake The race is on and it looks like heartaches And the [e] winner loses [a] all. One day i ventured in love, never once suspectin' What the final result would be How i lived in fear of waking up each morning And thinkin' that you're gone from me There's ache and pain in my heart For today was the one that i hated to face Somebody new came up to win her I came out in second place.
