D A my heart's sprung a big break, A and a stab of loneliness sharp and painful B E That I may never shake A You might say that I was taking it hard D A Since you wrote me off with a call A But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow E A When I may break right down and bawl? [Chorus] N.C. A Now the race is on and here comes Pride up the backstretch D A Heartaches are going to the inside A My tears are holding back B E They're trying not to fall A My Heart's out of the running D A True Love's scratched for another's sake A The race is on and it looks like Heartaches E A And the winner loses all [Guitar Solo] A A D A A A B E A A D A A A E A [Verse2] N.C. One day I ventured in love, never once suspecting D A What the final result would be A How I lived in fear of waking up each morning B E And finding that you're gone from me A There's aching and pain in my heart For today D A was the one that I hated to face A Somebody new came up to win her E A I came out in second place. [Chorus] N.C. A Now the race is on and here comes Pride up the backstretch D A Heartaches are going to the inside A My tears are holding back B E They're trying not to fall A My Heart's out of the running D A True Love's scratched for another's sake A The race is on and it looks like Heartaches E A D E A And the winner loses all
