The Race Is On Lyrics - Georgia Satellites

[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.
