G#I don't wanna talk
D#/GAbout things we've gone through
A#m/FThough it's hurting me

G#I've played all my cards
D#/GAnd that's what you've done too
A#m/FNothing more to say
D#No more ace to play
G#The winner takes it all
C7 FmThe loser standing small
F7/A A#mBeside the victory

A#m/FI figured it made sense
D#Building me a fence
G#Building me a home
D#/GThinking I'd be strong there
A#m/FBut I was a fool
D#Playing by the rules
G#The gods may throw a dice
C7 FmTheir minds as cold as ice
F7/A A#mAnd someone way down here
D#Loses someone dear
G#The winner takes it all
C7 FmThe loser has to fall

D#Why should I complain?
G#But tell me does she kiss
D#/GLike I used to kiss you?
A#m/FDoes it feel the same
D#When she calls your name?
G#Somewhere deep inside
D#/GYou must know I miss you
A#m/FBut what can I say
D#Rules must be obeyed
G#The judges will decide
C7 FmThe likes of me abide
F7/A A#mSpectators of the show
D#Always staying low
G#The game is on again
C7 FmA lover or a friend
F7/A A#mA big thing or a small
D#The winner takes it all
G#I don't wanna talk
D#/GIf it makes you feel sad
A#m/FAnd I understand
D#You've come to shake my hand

D#/GIf it makes you feel bad
A#m/FSeeing me so tense
D#No self-confidence, but you see …Z
