Rollins Don - The race is on (chords)

I feel ^Gtears welling up from down deep inside, Like ^Cmy heart's got a big ^Gbreak And a stab of loneliness sharp and ^Empainful that ^A7I may never ^D7shake. ^GYou might think that I'm taking it hard ^G7since you ^Cwrote me off with a ^Gcall, You might wager that I'll hide in sorrow and I might ^D7lay right down and ^Gbawl.

Now the race is ^Gon and here comes pride up the back stretch, ^CHeartaches a ^Ggoin' to the inside, my tears are holding back, ^A7tryin' not to ^D7fall. ^GMy heart's out of the running, true love ^Cscratched for another's ^Gsake, The race is ^Gon and it looks like heartaches, and the ^D7winner loses ^Gall.

One day I ^Gventured in love never once suspecting What the ^Cfinal result would ^Gbe. Now I live in fear of waking up each ^Emmorning, And ^A7finding that you're gone from ^D7me. There's an ^Gaching pain in my heart for the ^G7name of the ^Cone that I hated to ^Gface, Someone else came out to win her, and I came ^D7out in second ^Gplace.

Now the race is ^Gon and here comes pride up the back stretch, ^CHeartaches a ^Ggoin' to the inside, my tears are holding back, ^A7tryin' not to ^D7fall. ^GMy heart's out of the running, true love ^Cscratched for another's ^Gsake, The race is ^Gon and it looks like heartaches, and the ^D7winner loses ^Gall.
