[E] [Em] I feel tears welling up cold and deep inside [Am] like my heart's full of [E] big brain
And I stand alone in a shop and [Em] painful [F#] that I may [Bm] never shake
[E] You might say that I was speaking at heart [A] 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 right [E] down and fall
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 their wrath, I'm trying [B] not to fall
[E] My heart's out of the running, two [A] loves scratched for another [E] say
The race is on and it looks like heartache, and [B] the winner [E] loses all
One [A] [E]
[F#] [B] [Em]
[A] [E]
[B] [E] day I ventured in love, never once suspecting [A] what the final [E] result would be
Now I live in fear, waking up each [F#] morning finding that you're [B] gone from [E] me
The second pain in my heart for the day [A] was the one I hated [E] the most
Somebody new came up to wet [B] her and I came out in [E] second place
Now the race is on and here [G] comes pride in the [A] backstage
Heartache, going to [E] the inside, my tears are holding [F#] back their wrath, I'm trying [B] not to fall
[E] My heart's out of the running, two [A] loves scratched for another [E] say
The race is on and it looks like [B] heartache, and the winner [E] loses all
[Gm] Now [E]
[A] [E]
[F#] [B] [E]
[A] [E]
[B] [E] the race is on and here comes pride in the [A] backstage
Heartache, going to [E] the inside, my tears are holding [F#] back their wrath, I'm trying [B] not to fall
[E] My heart's out of the running, two [A] loves scratched for another [E] say
The race is on and it looks like heartache, [B] and the winner [E] loses all
[A] The [B]
winner [E] loses all
