The Race Is On

Written by George Jones/Don Rollins

	  		N.C.                                                 D                   A 
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
