D#I don't wanna talk

A#/DAbout things we've gone through

Fm/CThough it's hurting me

A#Now it's history

D#I've played all my cards

A#/DAnd that's what you've done too

Fm/CNothing more to say

A#No more ace to play

D#The winner takes it all

G7 CmThe loser standing small

C7/E FmBeside the victory

A#That's her destiny

D#I was in your arms

A#/DThinking I belonged there

Fm/CI figured it made sense

A#Building me a fence

D#Building me a home

A#/DThinking I'd be strong there

Fm/CBut I was a fool

A#Playing by the rules

D#The gods may throw a dice

G7 CmTheir minds as cold as ice

C7/E FmAnd someone way down here

A#Loses someone dear

D#The winner takes it all

G7 CmThe loser has to fall

C7/E FmIt's simple and it's plain

A#Why should I complain?

D#But tell me does she kiss

A#/DLike I used to kiss you?

Fm/CDoes it feel the same

A#When she calls your name?

D#Somewhere deep inside

A#/DYou must know I miss you

Fm/CBut what can I say

A#Rules must be obeyed

D#The judges will decide

G7 CmThe likes of me abide

C7/E FmSpectators of the show

A#Always staying low

D#The game is on again

G7 CmA lover or a friend

C7/E FmA big thing or a small

A#The winner takes it all

D#I don't wanna talk

A#/DIf it makes you feel sad

Fm/CAnd I understand

A#You've come to shake my hand

D#I apologize

A#/DIf it makes you feel bad

Fm/CSeeing me so tense

A#No self-confidence, but you see …Z

D# D# G7 Cm Cm C7/EThe winner takes it all

C7/E Fm A#The winner takes it all ...

D# G7 Cm Cm C/E So the winner takes it a -all

Fm A# And the loser has to fall

D# G7 Cm Cm C/E Throw a di-ice, cold as ice

Fm A# Way down here, someone dear

D# G7 Cm Cm C/E Takes it a-all, has to fall

Fm A# It seems plain to me ...
