THE RACE IS ON

George Jones

Written by Don Rollins

|
[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.
