I feel tears welling up from down deep inside,

Like my heart’s got a big break
C#m F#7 B7
And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful that I may never shake.

You might think that I’m taking it hard since you wrote me off
with a call,

Now the race is on and here comes pride up the back stretch,
A E F#7 B7
Heartaches a goin’ to the inside, my tears are holding back,
tryin’ not to fall.

My heart’s out of the running, true love scratched for another’s
sake,

The race is on and it looks like heartaches, and the winner

What the final result would be.

Now I live in fear of waking up each morning,
F#7 B7
And finding that you’re gone from me.

There’s an aching pain in my heart for the name of the one
that I hated to face,

Someone else came out to win her, and I came out in second place.
