{c: }
[NC] I feel tears wellin' up cold and deep inside
Like [F] my heart's sprung a big [C] break
[C] And the stab of loneliness, sharp and painful
[D] That I may never [G7] shake
[C] Now you might say that I was taking it hard
[F] Since you wrote me off with a [C] call
[C] But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow
When I may [G7] break right down and [C] bawl
{c: }
[NC] Now the race is [C] on and here comes pride up the backstretch
[F] Heartaches are going to the [C] inside
[C] My tears are holding back
[D] They're trying not to [G7] fall
[C] My heart's out of the running
[F] True love's scratched for another's [C] sake
[C] The race is on and it looks like heartaches
And the [G7] winner loses [C] all
{c: }

What the [F] final results would [C] be
[C] How I lived in fear of waking up each morning
And [D] finding that you'd gone from [G7] me
[C] There's aching and pain in my heart

And I came [G7] out in second [C] place
