AI don't wanna talk
E/G#About things we've gone through
Bm/F#Though it's hurting me
ENow it's history
AI've played all my cards
E/G#And that's what you've done too
Bm/F#Nothing more to say
ENo more ace to play
AThe winner takes it all
C#7 F#mThe loser standing small
F#7/A# BmBeside the victory
EThat's her destiny
AI was in your arms
E/G#Thinking I belonged there
Bm/F#I figured it made sense
EBuilding me a fence
ABuilding me a home
E/G#Thinking I'd be strong there
Bm/F#But I was a fool
EPlaying by the rules
AThe gods may throw a dice
C#7 F#mTheir minds as cold as ice
F#7/A# BmAnd someone way down here
ELoses someone dear
AThe winner takes it all
C#7 F#mThe loser has to fall
F#7/A# BmIt's simple and it's plain
EWhy should I complain?
ABut tell me does she kiss
E/G#Like I used to kiss you?
Bm/F#Does it feel the same
EWhen she calls your name?
ASomewhere deep inside
E/G#You must know I miss you
Bm/F#But what can I say
ERules must be obeyed
AThe judges will decide
C#7 F#mThe likes of me abide
F#7/A# BmSpectators of the show
EAlways staying low
AThe game is on again
C#7 F#mA lover or a friend
F#7/A# BmA big thing or a small
EThe winner takes it all
AI don't wanna talk
E/G#If it makes you feel sad
Bm/F#And I understand
EYou've come to shake my hand
AI apologize
E/G#If it makes you feel bad
Bm/F#Seeing me so tense
ENo self-confidence, but you see …Z
A A C#7 F#m F#m F#7/A#The winner takes it all
F#7/A# Bm EThe winner takes it all ...
A C#7 F#m F#m F#/A# So the winner takes it a -all
Bm E And the loser has to fall
A C#7 F#m F#m F#/A# Throw a di-ice, cold as ice
Bm E Way down here, someone dear
A C#7 F#m F#m F#/A# Takes it a-all, has to fall
Bm E It seems plain to me ...
