[Intro]
F#m
[Verse 1]
F#m A D C#
Started out one way, but turned out the other
F#m A D C#
And boy it's confused, I run into your brother
F#m A D C#
I just pay no mind, not trying to be kind
F#m A D C#
There's a mark on my heart, couldn't say that I love ya
(play Riff 1)
F#m A D C#
Couldn't say that I love ya
(play Riff 2)
F#m A D C#
It started out slowly then burned out and smothered
F#m A D C#
I know you don't know that I wanted to love her
F#m A D C#
I took the advice, afforded the price
F#m A D C#
And I woke up amused in the arms of another
[Chorus]
G D
You know my only regret
F# G# A
Is that we never really met before
E
Cause you're lost in the race
(play Riff 2 x2)
F#m A D C#
F#m A D C#
[Piano interlude)
G D F# G# A E

F#m A D C#
[Verse 2]
F#m A D C#
This didn't turn out now the way I'd imagined
F#m A D C#
They say runner's up never enjoy the pageant
F#m A D C#
And all of those lines, I've had to decline
F#m A D C#
Just like your friends, they're divided and rationed
[Chorus]
G D
You know my only request
F# G# A
Is that we really should be together more
E
Before the end of the ra-ce
G D
Ooh, before the end of the race
A E
Yeah, before the end of the ra-ce
G D
Ooh, before the end of the race
A E
Yeah, before the end of the ra-ce
G D
Ooh, before the end of the race
F# G# A
Let's make it like we never met before
E
The end of the ra-ce
(Finish on F#m)
Started out one way, but turned out the other
And boy it's confused, I run into your brother
I just pay no mind, not trying to be kind
There's a mark on my heart, couldn't say that I love ya
Couldn't say that I love ya
It started out slowly then burned out and smothered
I know you don't know that I wanted to love her
I took the advice, afforded the price
And I woke up amused in the arms of another
You know my only regret
Is that we never really met before
Cause you're lost in the race
This didn't turn out now the way I'd imagined
They say runner's up never enjoy the pageant
And all of those lines, I've had to decline
Just like your friends, they're divided and rationed
You know my only request
Is that we really should be together more
Before the end of the ra-ce
Ooh, before the end of the race
Yeah, before the end of the ra-ce
Ooh, before the end of the race
Yeah, before the end of the ra-ce
Ooh, before the end of the race
Let's make it like we never met before
The end of the ra-ce
