The Race Is On:Jack Jones.
#15 in 1965.
#1.
G C
I feel tears wellin' up from deep inside like my heart's
G
goin' to break.
G D
And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful that I may never shake.
G C
You might say that I was taking it hard since you gave me the
G
final goodbye.
G D
But don't you wager that I'll hide my sorrow when I may break
G
right down and cry.
CHORUS:
G
Now the race is on and here comes Pride up the backstretch,
C G
Heartaches are going to the inside.
G D
My Tears are holding back, they're tryin' not to fall.
G C
My Heart's out of the running, True Love's scratched
G
for Anothers Sake.
G
The race is on and it looks like Heartaches..and the
D G
winner loses all.
(INTERLUDE:)
#2.
G
One day I ventured in love, never once suspectin' what
C G
the final result would be.
G
How I lived in fear of wakin' up each morning,
D
and findin' that you're gone from me.
G
There's achin' and pain in my heart for the name of
C G
the one that I'll never replace.
G D G
Somebody new came up to win her and I came out in second place.
CHORUS:
G
Now the race is on and here comes Pride up the backstretch,
C G
Heartaches are going to the inside.
G D
My Tears are holding back, they're tryin' not to fall.
G C
My Heart's out of the running, True Love's scratched
G
for Anothers Sake.
G
The race is on and it looks like Heartaches..and the
D G
winner loses all.
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
