[Verse]
E                                         
■ I feel tears wellin' up cold deep inside
A                            E    
Like my heart's sprung a big break
      E                                   
And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful
           Gb    B    
That I may never shake
E                                      
You might say that I was taking it hard
          A                   E   
Since you wrote me off with a call
              E                             
But don't you wager that I'll hide in sorrow
           B                  E   
When I may lay right down and bawl
        E         
Now the race is on
                            A          
And here comes pride in the backstretch


[Chorus]
                         E     
Heartache's goin' to the inside
         E               
My tears are holdin' back
Gb                    B   
They're tryin' not to fall
E                            
My heart's out of the runnin'
            A                       E   
True love's scratched for another's sake
         E                                
The race is on and it looks like heartache
        B      E        
And the winner loses all

[Verse]
          E               
One day I ventured in love
                               A                  E 
Never once suspectin' what the final result would be
          E                                      
And how I lived in fear of waking up each morning
                    Gb7       B 
Finding that you're gone from me
E                                
There's ache and pain in my heart
                      A               E   
For today was the one that I hated to face
         E                     
Somebody new came up to win her
      B                  E    
And I came out in second place
        E         
Now the race is on
               D            A          
And here comes pride in the backstretch


[Chorus]
                     E         
Heartache's goin' to the inside
         E               
My tears are holdin' back
Gb      Gb7           B   
They're tryin' not to fall
E                            
My heart's out of the runnin'
            A                       E   
True love's scratched for another's sake
         E                                
The race is on and it looks like heartache
        B      E        
And the winner loses all

Heartache's goin' to the side

My tears are holdin' back

They're tryin' not to fall

My heart's out of the runnin'

True love's scratched for another's sake
