The Race Is On 
Sawyer Brown 
 
Intro - Just pick the bass notes 
 
Verse 1 
E 
I feel tears welling up growing deep inside 
             A                       E 
Like my heart sprung a big break 
And each step along it's sharp and painful 
 B7 
And I may never say 
            E 
You might say that I was taken it hard 
               A                              E  
Since you hooked me off with a call 
But don't you wager that I'll hide in sorrow 
                 B7                             E 
When I might lay right down and bawl  
 

[Refrão]
E 
Now the race is on and here comes 
Pride in the back stretch 
A               E 
Heartaches going to the inside 
My tears are holding back 
B7 
They're trying not to fall 
E 
My heart's out of the running 
             A                         E 
To love scratch for another sake 
The race is on and it looks like heartaches 
            B7                   E 
And the winner looses all  
 
Verse 2 
One day I ventured in love 
Never once suspecting 
What the final result would be 
How I lived in fear waking up each morning 
Find the that you're gone from me 
The aching pain in my heart for today 
Was the one I hated to face 
Somebody new came up to win her 
And I came out in second place  
 
Chorus x2 
 
Tag 
       B7                E 
The winner looses all
