#1.
F                                C
Go ahead and laugh at me, try to be the 

man you oughta be.
Dm                                C
Baby, it's not hard to see what's going on.
      F                          C
Well, maybe we should celebrate, drink champagne, 

why should we wait?
Dm
Why don't we ask some friends around, they can 
F                                G
help us play this game we found..let's bring 

everybody down.
        G7
Will we ever be ready for what we're heading for?

CHORUS:
F                    C                        G
Here we stand like a couple of fools..and the race 
   C
is on.
F                  C                        G
Hand in hand as we break the rules..and the race 
   C
is on.
F                      C                     G
What's the cost to the one who lost when the race 
     C
goes wrong.
             F                  C
You may say, why begin, when we both can't win, but 
    G         C
the race goes on.
F                   C                       G       C
Hand in hand like a couple of fools and the race is on.

      F                
Well, surprise surprise, a few more lies, or do we 
C
simply call them alibis?
     Dm                                C
This life we lead ain't fooling either one of us.
    F                                    C
And while we're having so much fun let's not forget 

the lonely ones.
     Dm                               F
It's lonely falling out of love, this game we play 

can be so rough.
    G                            G7
Now maybe we've gone far enough..are you sure you 

know just what where heading for?
