D                       A
my heart's sprung a big break,
      A
and a stab of loneliness sharp and painful
     B           E
That I may never shake

A
You might say that I was taking it hard
          D                   A
Since you wrote me off with a call
              A
But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow
           E                    A
When I may break right down and bawl?

[Chorus]
N.C.            A
Now the race is on and here comes Pride up the backstretch
D                           A
Heartaches are going to the inside
A
My tears are holding back
B                     E
They're trying not to fall

A
My Heart's out of the running
            D                       A
True Love's scratched for another's sake
            A
The race is on and it looks like Heartaches
        E            A
And the winner loses all

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse2]
N.C.
One day I ventured in love, never once suspecting
         D                  A
What the final result would be
      A
How I lived in fear of waking up each morning
    B                             E
And finding that you're gone from me

A
There's aching and pain in my heart For today
        D                   A
was the one that I hated to face
         A
Somebody new came up to win her
       E             A
I came out in second place.

[Chorus]
N.C.            A
Now the race is on and here comes Pride up the backstretch
D                           A
Heartaches are going to the inside
A
My tears are holding back
B                     E
They're trying not to fall

A
My Heart's out of the running
            D                       A
True Love's scratched for another's sake
            A
The race is on and it looks like Heartaches
        E            A   D  E  A
And the winner loses all
