[Intro] | D | A | D | A | [Verse 1]
D                                
Go ahead and laugh at me, 

       A
Try to be the man you want to be.

Bm                                  A         E
  Baby, it's not hard to see what's going on.

      D                          
Well, maybe we should celebrate, 

          A
Drink champagne, why should we wait?

Bm
  Why don't we ask some friends around,

         D                                
They can help us play this game we found

E
Let's bring everybody down.

        E7
Will we ever be ready for what we're heading for?
[Chorus]
D                    A                        E       A
Here we stand like a couple of fools, and the race is on

D                  A                        E       A
Hand in hand as we break the rules, and the race is on

D                      A                     E         A
What's the cost to the one who lost when the race goes wrong

             D                  A                       E         A
You may say, why begin, when we both can't win, but the race goes on

D                   A                       E       A
Hand in hand like a couple of fools and the race is on.
[Interlude] | D | A | D | E E | [Verse 2]
      D                
Well, surprise surprise, a few more lies, 

         A
Or do we   simply call them alibis?

     Bm                                A          E
This life we lead ain't fooling either one of us.

       D                                    
Oh and while we're having so much fun 

      A
Let's not forget the lonely ones.

     Bm                               
It's lonely falling out of love, 

     D
This game we play can be so rough.

    E                            
Now maybe we've gone far enough 

            E7
But are you sure you know just what where heading for?
[Chorus]
D                    A                        E       A
Here we stand like a couple of fools, and the race is on

D                  A                        E       A
Hand in hand as we break the rules, and the race is on

D                      A                     E         A
What's the cost to the one who lost when the race goes wrong

             D                  A                       E         A
You may say, why begin, when we both can't win, but the race goes on

D                   A                       E       A
Hand in hand like a couple of fools and the race is on.
[Interlude] | D | A | D | A | | D | A | D | E | [Chorus]
    D                    A                        E       A
Oh, here we stand like a couple of fools, and the race is on

D                  A                        E       A
Hand in hand as we break the rules, and the race is on

D                      A                     E         A
What's the cost to the one who lost when the race goes wrong

             D                  A                       E         A
You may say, why begin, when we both can't win, but the race goes on

D                   A                       E       A
Hand in hand like a couple of fools and the race is on.
[Interlude] | D | A | D | A | [Outro]
            D               A
The race is on..the race is on..(x6)
