F#I don't wanna talk

C#/FAbout things we've gone through

G#m/D#Though it's hurting me

C#Now it's history

F#I've played all my cards

C#/FAnd that's what you've done too

G#m/D#Nothing more to say

C#No more ace to play

F#The winner takes it all

A#7 D#mThe loser standing small

D#7/G G#mBeside the victory

C#That's her destiny

F#I was in your arms

C#/FThinking I belonged there

G#m/D#I figured it made sense

C#Building me a fence

F#Building me a home

C#/FThinking I'd be strong there

G#m/D#But I was a fool

C#Playing by the rules

F#The gods may throw a dice

A#7 D#mTheir minds as cold as ice

D#7/G G#mAnd someone way down here

C#Loses someone dear

F#The winner takes it all

A#7 D#mThe loser has to fall

D#7/G G#mIt's simple and it's plain

C#Why should I complain?

F#But tell me does she kiss

C#/FLike I used to kiss you?

G#m/D#Does it feel the same

C#When she calls your name?

F#Somewhere deep inside

C#/FYou must know I miss you

G#m/D#But what can I say

C#Rules must be obeyed

F#The judges will decide

A#7 D#mThe likes of me abide

D#7/G G#mSpectators of the show

C#Always staying low

F#The game is on again

A#7 D#mA lover or a friend

D#7/G G#mA big thing or a small

C#The winner takes it all

F#I don't wanna talk

C#/FIf it makes you feel sad

G#m/D#And I understand

C#You've come to shake my hand

F#I apologize

C#/FIf it makes you feel bad

G#m/D#Seeing me so tense

C#No self-confidence, but you see …Z

F# F# A#7 D#m D#m D#7/GThe winner takes it all

D#7/G G#m C#The winner takes it all ...

F# A#7 D#m D#m D#/G So the winner takes it a -all

G#m C# And the loser has to fall

F# A#7 D#m D#m D#/G Throw a di-ice, cold as ice

G#m C# Way down here, someone dear

F# A#7 D#m D#m D#/G Takes it a-all, has to fall

G#m C# It seems plain to me ...
