Intro|D|A|D|A|D-

[STROPHE]

Go ahead and laugh at me,
Try to [A]be the man you wanna be.[Bm]

Baby, it's not hard to see
What's [A]going on.[E]
We[D]ll maybe we should celebrate,
Drink [A]champagne, why should we wait[Bm]

Why don't we ask some friends around,
They can [D]help us play

This game we found.
Let's [E]bring ev'rybody down,

Will we ever be ready

For what we're headin' for

[REFRAIN]
[D]Here we stand like a [A]couple of fools
And the [E]race is [A]on.
[D]Hand in hand as we [A]break the rules,
And the [E]race is [A]on.
[D]What's become to the [A]one we love
When the [E]race goes [A]wrong

You may say,
[D]Why begin when we [A]both can't win
But the [E]race goes [A]on.
[D]Hand in hand like a [A]couple of fools
And the [E]race is [A]on.

[STROPHE]
Well sur[D]prise surprise,

[A] , [few] , [more] A [lies] , []
Or do we [A]simply call them alibies
This [Bm]life we live
Ain't fooling either [A]one of us[E] .
Oh, and [D]while we're having so much fun,
Let's [A]not forget the lowly ones.
[Bm]Slowly falling out of love,
This [D]game we play can be so rough.
Now [E]maybe we've gone far enough.

But are you sure you know

Just what went wrong

[REFRAIN]
[D]Here we stand like a [A]couple of fools
And the [E]race is [A]on.
[D]Hand in hand as we [A]break the rules,
And the [E]race is [A]on.
[D]What's become to the [A]one we love
When the [E]race goes [A]wrong

You may say,
[D]Why begin when we [A]both can't win
But the [E]race goes [A]on.
[D]Hand in hand like a [A]couple of fools
And the [E]race is [A]on.
