  			G 
I dont wanna talk 
                       D 
About the things we've gone through 
                   Am 
Though its hurting me 
           D 
Now its history 
                   G 
I've played all my cards 
                      D 
And thats what you've done too 
                Am 
Nothing more to say 
                D 
No more ace to play 

          
                    G 
The winner takes it all 
                   Em7 
The loser standing small 
           Am 
Beside her victory 
             D 
Thats her destiny 


              G 
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 


                     G 
The gods may throw a dice 
                       Em7 
Their minds as cold as ice 
                     Am 
And someone way down here 
              D 
Loses someone dear 


                    G 
The winner takes it all 
                 Em7 
The loser has to fall 
                   Am 
Its simple and its plain 
                D 
Why should I complain 


                     G 
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 that I miss you 
               Am 
But what can I say 
               D 
Rules must be obeyed 


                G 
The judges will decide 
                Em7 
The likes of me abide 
                  Am 
Spectators of the show 
               D  
Always staying low 


               G 
The game is on again 
             Em7 
A lover or a friend 
                 Am 
A big thing or a small 
                    D 
The winner takes it all 


             G 
I dont 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 sad 
             Am 
Seeing me so tense 
             D 
No self confidence 


                    G 
The winner takes it all 
                    Em7       Am        D 
The winner takes it all...
