Verse: G G C G I feel tears welling up from down deep inside,like my hearts got a big break G A D And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful that I may never shake. G C G You might think that Im taking it hard since you broke me off with a call, G D G C-G You might wager that Ill hide in sorrow and I might lay right down and bawl.(Solo: Chorus and VERSE progressions) Verse: G C G One day I ventured in love never once suspecting what the final result would be. G A D Now I live in fear of waking up each morning,and finding that youre gone from me. G C G There's an aching pain in my heart for the name of the one that I hated to face, G D G C-G Someone else came out to win her, and I came out in second place.G Now the race is on and here comes pride up the back stretch, C G A D Heartaches a goin to the inside, My tears are holding back, tryin not to fall. G C G My hearts our of the running, true love scratched for another's sake, G D G C-G The race is on and it looks like heartaches, and the winner loses all.(Solo: Chorus and VERSE progressions)G Now the race is on and here comes pride up the back stretch, C G A D Heartaches a goin to the inside, my tears are holding back, tryin not to fall. G C G My hearts our of the running, true love scratched for another's sake, G D G C-G The race is on and it looks like heartaches, and the winner loses all.G Now the race is on and here comes pride up the back stretch, C G A D Heartaches a goin to the inside, my tears are holding back, tryin not to fall. G C G My hearts our of the running, true love scratched for another's sake, G D G C-G The race is on and it looks like heartaches, and the winner loses all.
