THE RACE IS ON
As recorded by Dave Edmunds
(From the 1981 Album TWANGIN...)
[Verse 1]
N.C. D A
I feel tears welling up going deep inside like my heart's gonna get break
B E
And the stab of loneliness, sharp and painful, that I may never shake
A D A
You might say that I was taking it hard since she broke me off with a call
E
But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow when I may break right down and
A N.C.
bawl
[Chorus]
N.C. A
Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch
D
Heartaches are going to the inside
A B E
My tears are holding back, they're trying not to fall
A D A
My heart's out of the running, true love's scratched for another's sake
A
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
E A N.C.
And the winner loses all
[Guitar Solo]
A D A B E
A D A N.C.
[Verse 2]
N.C. D
One day I ventured in love, never once suspecting what the final result would
A
be
B
How I lived in fear of waking up each morning and finding that you're gone
E
from me
A D
There's ache and pain in my heart for the name of the one that I had to
A
replace
E A N.C.
Somebody new came up to win her and I came out in second place
[Chorus]
N.C. A
Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch
D
Heartaches are going to the inside
A B E
My tears are holding back, they're trying not to fall
A D A
My heart's out of the running, true love's scratched for another's sake
A
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
E A D E A
And the winner loses all
