[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 (play Riff 2 x2) F#m A D C# 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)
