Letra The Race Is On de Georgia Satellites original

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.
