And the stab of loneliness sharp and [A] painful I may never shake

Don't you wager that I'll hide my sorrow [D] when I'm a brick right [G] down and bald
Now the race is on and here comes pride at the [C] backstretch
Heartaches are [G] growing deep inside
I tear the holes in my [A] back
They try [D] not to fall
[G] My heart's out of the running
True [C] love's scratched for [G] another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartache
