Well, I feel dear well enough [Ab] for the new day's [Db] sunsets
When [Ab] I'm in bed and I'm stabbin' on this sharp paper
[Bb] I may [Eb] never shake
[Ab] You might say that I was takin' it [Db] hard when you woke me up [Ab] with a call
Don't you wait till that Ohio DeSoto
I may lay right down
Oh, well, the rain stays on
Here come the crowds, come [Db] back straight in
The carnage, I'm goin' [Ab] to the inside
My tears are holdin' back
[Bb] They're [Eb] tryin' not to [Ab] fall
Long time in the runnin'
[Db] Real love's scratched for [Ab] another set
The race is on
Looks like [F] carnage
And I went [Ab] out
The mood is on
[Db] [Ab]
[Bb] [Ab]
[Db] [Ab]
[F] One day I'd venture to love
Never once [Db] suspected what the money's [Ab] ought to be
I'm a real hero, ain't nothing to [Bb] money
Thinkin' you'd come [Ab] for me
Well, I'm achin' in vain
And my heart's probably [Db] dead on the wall
[Ab] I ain't safe
Somebody new came
And when her love came
[F] I [Ab] forced me to stay
I said the rain stays on
Here come the [Db] crowds, come back straight in
The carnage, I'm goin' to the inside
[Ab] My tears are holdin'
[Bb] They're tryin' not [Eb] to fall
[Ab] Long time in the runnin'
Real love's scratched for another set
The race is on
Looks like carnage

The race is on
