[nc] I feel tears wellin up cold and deep inside
Like my [d] hearts sprung a big [a] break
And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful
[e] that I may never shake
You might [a] say that I was taking it hard
Oh, she [d] wrote me off with a [a] call
But dont you wager that Ill hide the sorrow
When I may [e] break right down and [a] bawl?
[nc] well, the race is [a] on and here comes pride up the backstretch
[d] heartaches are going to the in-[a] side
My tears are holding back
Theyre tryin [e] not to fall
[a] my hearts out of the running
True loves [d] scratched for anothers [a] sake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
And the [e] winner loses [a] all.

One day I ventured in love, never once suspectin
What the final result would be
How I lived in fear of waking up each morning
And thinkin that youre gone from me
Theres ache and pain in my heart
For today was the one that I hated to face
Somebody new came up to win her
I came out in second place.
