The Race Is On - Don Rollins
============================
I feel Gtears welling up from down deep inside,
Like Cmy heart's got a big Gbreak
And a stab of loneliness sharp and Empainful that A7I may never D7shake.
GYou might think that I'm taking it hard G7since you Cwrote me off with a Gcall,
You might wager that I'll hide in sorrow and I might D7lay right down and Gbawl.
Now the race is Gon and here comes pride up the back stretch,
CHeartaches a Ggoin' to the inside, my tears are holding back, A7tryin' not to D7fall.
GMy heart's out of the running, true love Cscratched for another's Gsake,
The race is Gon and it looks like heartaches, and the D7winner loses Gall.
One day I Gventured in love never once suspecting
What the Cfinal result would Gbe.
Now I live in fear of waking up each Emmorning,
And A7finding that you're gone from D7me.
There's an Gaching pain in my heart for the G7name of the Cone that I hated to Gface,
Someone else came out to win her, and I came D7out in second Gplace.
Now the race is Gon and here comes pride up the back stretch,
CHeartaches a Ggoin' to the inside, my tears are holding back, A7tryin' not to D7fall.
GMy heart's out of the running, true love Cscratched for another's Gsake,
The race is Gon and it looks like heartaches, and the D7winner loses Gall.
