1.     Go ahead and laugh at me,

              A

    try to be the man you wanna 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?

 

   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 we love 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.

2. 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                                         D

    slowly falling out of love, 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 went wrong.

 

   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 we love 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.
