The Race Is On chords by George Jones

Chords with lyrics

Like my [D MajorD] heart's sprung a big [A augmentedA] break
And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful
[E MajorE] That I may never shake
You might [A augmentedA] say that I was taking it hard
Oh, she [D MajorD] wrote me off with a [A augmentedA] call
But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow
When I may [E MajorE] break right down and [A augmentedA] bawl?

[NC] Well, the race is [A augmentedA] on and here comes Pride up the backstretch
[D MajorD] Heartaches are going to the in-[A augmentedA] side
My Tears are holding back
They're tryin' [E MajorE] not to fall
[A augmentedA] My Heart's out of the running
True Love's [D MajorD] scratched for another's [A augmentedA] sake
The race is on and it looks like Heartaches
And the [E MajorE] winner loses [A augmentedA] 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
