Start Jamming...
[G] How do you like it?
I like it
you race
No, you ought to you're right as well as anyone around here.
I [Em]
feel tears welling up deep inside [Am] like my heart
[Em]
And I stand alone in a sharp and painful [F#] that I may [Bm] never say
[E] You might say that I was thinking it [A] hard since you wrote me off [E] with a call
But don't you wager that I'll hide in sorrow [B] when I may lay [E] right down and fall
[G] Now the race is on and here comes pride in the [A] backstage
Heartache going [E] to the inside my tears are holding [F#] back there.
I'm trying [B] not to fall
[E] My heart's out of the running to [A] love scratch for another [E] say
Race is on and it looks like heartaches and [B] the winner [E] loses all
[A] [E]
[F#] [B]
[Em] [A] [E]
[B] [E]
One day I bet you that love never once suspected [A] what the final [E] result would be
Now I live in fear waking up each [F#] morning finding that you're [B] gone for me
[E] Taking pain in my heart for the day [A] was the one I hated [E] the most
Somebody new came up to weather [B] and I came out in [E] second place
So the race is on and here comes pride in the [A] backstage
Heartache going to [E] the inside my tears are holding [F#] back there.
I'm trying [B] not to fall
[E] My heart's out of the running to [A] love scratch for another [E] say
Racism and it looks like [B] heartaches and the winner [E] loses [Gm] all
[E] [A] [E]
[F#] [B]
[E] [A] [E]
[B] [E]
Now the race is on and here comes pride in the [A] backstage
Heartache going to [E] the inside my tears are holding [F#] back there.
I'm trying [B] not to fall
[E] My heart's out of the running to [A] love scratch for another [E] say
Race is on and it looks like heartaches [B] and the winner [E] loses all
