George Jones - The race is on

N.C.

I feel tears wellin' up cold and deep inside Like ^Dmy heart's sprung a big ^Abreak, and a ^Astab of loneliness sharp and painful That ^BI may never ^Eshake

^AYou might say that I was taking it hard Since you ^Dwrote me off with a ^Acall But don't you ^Awager that I'll hide the sorrow When I may ^Ebreak right down and ^Abawl?

N.C.

Now the race is ^Aon and here comes Pride up the backstretch ^DHeartaches are going to the ^Ainside ^AMy tears are holding back ^BThey're trying not to ^Efall

^AMy Heart's out of the running True Love's ^Dscratched for another's ^Asake The race is ^Aon and it looks like Heartaches And the ^Ewinner loses ^Aall

N.C.

One day I ventured in love, never once suspecting What the ^Dfinal result would ^Abe How I ^Alived in fear of waking up each morning And ^Bfinding that you're gone from ^Eme

^AThere's aching and pain in my heart For today was the ^Done that I hated to ^Aface Somebody ^Anew came up to win her I came ^Eout in second ^Aplace.
