VerseG
I don't wanna talk
D
About the things we've gone through
Am
Though it's hurting me
D
Now it's history
G
I've played all my cards
D
And that's what you've done too
Am
Nothing more to say
D
No more ace to play
ChorusG
The winner takes it all
Em7
The loser standing small
Am
Beside the victory
D
That's her destiny
VerseG
I was in your arms
D
Thinking I belonged there
Am
I figured it made sense
D
Building me a fence
G
Building me a home
D
Thinking I'd be strong there
Am
But I was a fool
D
Playing by the rules
BridgeG
The gods may throw a dice
Em7
Their minds as cold as ice
Am
And someone way down here
D
Loses someone dear
ChorusG
The winner takes it all
Em7
The loser has to fall
Am
It's simple and it's plain
D
Why should I complain.
VerseG
But tell me does she kiss
D
Like I used to kiss you?
Am
Does it feel the same
D
When she calls your name?
G
Somewhere deep inside
D
You must know I miss you
Am
But what can I say
D
Rules must be obeyed
Bridge 2G
The judges will decide
Em7
The likes of me abide
Am
Spectators of the show
D
Always staying low
ChorusG
The game is on again
Em7A lover or a friend
AmA big thing or a small
D
The winner takes it all
VerseG
I don't wanna talk
D
If it makes you feel sad
Am
And I understand
D
You've come to shake my hand
G
I apologize
D
If it makes you feel bad
Am
Seeing me so tense
D
No self-confidence
D
But you see
OutroG
The winner takes it all
D
The winner takes it all...
