NC I feel tears wellin' up cold and deep inside
Like my D heart's sprung a big A break
And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful
E That I may never shake
You might A say that I was taking it hard
Oh, she D wrote me off with a A call
But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow
When I may E break right down and A bawl?
NC Well, the race is A on and here comes Pride up the backstretch
D Heartaches are going to the in-A side
My Tears are holding back
They're tryin' E not to fall
A My Heart's out of the running
True Love's D scratched for another's A sake
The race is on and it looks like Heartaches
And the E winner loses A all.
One day I ventured in love, never once suspectin'
What the final result would be
How I lived in fear of waking up each morning
And thinkin' that you're 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.
