I FEEL TEARS WELLIN UP COLD AND DEEP INSIDE, LIKE MY HEARTS SPRUNG A BIG BREAK

E

AND A STAB OF LONELINESS SHARP AND PAINFUL, THAT I MAY NEVER SHAKE

A D A

YOU MIGHT SAY THAT I WAS TAKING IT HARD, OH, SHE WROTE ME OFF WITH A CALL

E A

BUT DON’T YOU WAGGER THAT I’LL HIDE THE SORROW, WHEN I MAY BREAK RIGHT DOWN AND BAWL

N.C. A D A

WELL, THE RACE IS ON AND HERE COMES PRIDE UP THE BACKSTRETCH, HEARTACHES ARE GOING TO THE INSIDE

E

MY TEARS ARE HOLDING BACK, THEY’RE TRYIN NOT TO FALL

A D A

MY HEARTS OUT OF THE RUNNING, TRUE LOVE’S SCRATCHED FOR ANOTHERS SAKE

E A

THE RACE IS ON AND IT LOOKS LIKE HEARTACHES, AND THE WINNER LOSES ALL

ONE DAY I VENTURED IN LOVE, NEVER ONCE SUSPECTIN, WHAT THE FINAL RESULT WOULD BE

HOW I LIVED IN FEAR WAKING UP EACH MORNING, AND THINKING YOU WERE GONE FROM ME

THERE’S ACHE AND PAIN IN MY HEART, FOR TODAY WAS THE ONE THAT I HATED TO FACE

SOMEBODY NEW CAME UP TO WIN HER, I CAME OUT IN SECOND PLACE

N.C. A D A

NOW, THE RACE IS ON AND HERE COMES PRIDE UP THE BACKSTRETCH, HEARTACHES ARE GOING TO THE INSIDE

E

MY TEARS ARE HOLDING BACK, THEY’RE TRYIN NOT TO FALL

A D A

MY HEARTS OUT OF THE RUNNING, TRUE LOVE’S SCRATCHED FOR ANOTHERS SAKE

E A

THE RACE IS ON AND IT LOOKS LIKE HEARTACHES, AND THE WINNER LOSES ALL
