Tom: E
A E
Like my heart's sprung a big break
E E
And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful
F# B
More than I can take
E E
You might have thought I was takin' it hard
A E
When you broke it off with a call
A E
But don't you wager I'm gon' hide my sorrow
B E
Just might break right down and bawl
[Chorus]
N.C. E E
Now, the race is on and here comes Pride up the backstretch
A E
Heartaches are cuttin' through my inside
E
My Tears are holdin' back
F# B
Tryin' not to fall
E E
My Heart's out of the runnin'
A E
True Love scratched for another's sake
A E
Now the race is on and it lookin' like Heartache
B E
And the winner gon' lose it all.
[Solo]

A E B E
[Verse 2]
N.C.
One day I wagered in love, never once suspectin'
A E
What the final result would be
E E
And I lived in fear of wakin' up each morning
F# B
And findin' that you're gone from me
E
There's ache and pain in my heart
A E
For today was the one that I hated to face
A E
Somebody new come up to win her
B E
And I ended up in second place
[Chorus]
N.C. E
Now the race is on and here comes Pride up the backstretch
A E
Heartaches cuttin' through my inside
E
My Tears are holdin' back
F# B
They're tryin' not to fall
E
My Heart's out of the runnin'
A E
True Love's scratched for another's sake
A E
Now The race is on and it lookin' like Heartache
B E
And the winner gon' lose it all.
