C#I don't wanna talk

G#/CAbout things we've gone through

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

G#Now it's history

C#I've played all my cards

G#/CAnd that's what you've done too

D#m/A#Nothing more to say

G#No more ace to play

C#The winner takes it all

F7 A#mThe loser standing small

A#7/D D#mBeside the victory

G#That's her destiny

C#I was in your arms

G#/CThinking I belonged there

D#m/A#I figured it made sense

G#Building me a fence

C#Building me a home

G#/CThinking I'd be strong there

D#m/A#But I was a fool

G#Playing by the rules

C#The gods may throw a dice

F7 A#mTheir minds as cold as ice

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

G#Loses someone dear

C#The winner takes it all

F7 A#mThe loser has to fall

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

G#Why should I complain?

C#But tell me does she kiss

G#/CLike I used to kiss you?

D#m/A#Does it feel the same

G#When she calls your name?

C#Somewhere deep inside

G#/CYou must know I miss you

D#m/A#But what can I say

G#Rules must be obeyed

C#The judges will decide

F7 A#mThe likes of me abide

A#7/D D#mSpectators of the show

G#Always staying low

C#The game is on again

F7 A#mA lover or a friend

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

G#The winner takes it all

C#I don't wanna talk

G#/CIf it makes you feel sad

D#m/A#And I understand

G#You've come to shake my hand

C#I apologize

G#/CIf it makes you feel bad

D#m/A#Seeing me so tense

G#No self-confidence, but you see …Z

C# C# F7 A#m A#m A#7/DThe winner takes it all

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

C# F7 A#m A#m A#/D So the winner takes it a -all

D#m G# And the loser has to fall

C# F7 A#m A#m A#/D Throw a di-ice, cold as ice

D#m G# Way down here, someone dear

C# F7 A#m A#m A#/D Takes it a-all, has to fall

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