{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: } 
Instrumental  - Verse 1 (Use [C] instead of [NC] )   
{c: } 
[NC] One day I had ventured in love, [C] never once suspecting   
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   
For the day was the [F] one that I hated to [C] face   
[C] Somebody new came up to win her   
And I came [G7] out in second [C] place   
{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
