[E]
I feel tears welling up, cooling deep inside [Am] like my heart's from [Em] the deep grave
And I stand alone in the sharp and [F#] painful that I may [Bm] never shake
[E] You might say that I was thinking it hard [A] since you wrote me off [E] with a call
Don't you wish I'd let her hide in sorrow when I [B] may lay right [E] down and fall
Now the race is on and here comes [A] pride in the backstretch
Heartache, going [E] to the inside
My tears are holding [F#] back terror, I'm trying [B] not to fall
[E]
My heart's out of the running, true [A] love's scratched for another [E] say
The race is on and it looks like [B] heartache from the winner [E] who loses all

day I ventured in love, never once [Am] suspecting what the final [E] result would be
Now I live in fear, waking up each [F#m] morning finding that you're [B] gone from [E] me
The second pain in my heart for today [A] was the one I hated [E] the most
Somebody new came up to weather [B] and I came out in [E] second place
