A#I don't wanna talk

F/AAbout things we've gone through

Cm/GThough it's hurting me

FNow it's history

A#I've played all my cards

F/AAnd that's what you've done too

Cm/GNothing more to say

FNo more ace to play

A#The winner takes it all

D7 GmThe loser standing small

G7/B CmBeside the victory

FThat's her destiny

A#I was in your arms

F/AThinking I belonged there

Cm/GI figured it made sense

FBuilding me a fence

A#Building me a home

F/AThinking I'd be strong there

Cm/GBut I was a fool

FPlaying by the rules

A#The gods may throw a dice

D7 GmTheir minds as cold as ice

G7/B CmAnd someone way down here

FLoses someone dear

A#The winner takes it all

D7 GmThe loser has to fall

G7/B CmIt's simple and it's plain

FWhy should I complain?

A#But tell me does she kiss

F/ALike I used to kiss you?

Cm/GDoes it feel the same

FWhen she calls your name?

A#Somewhere deep inside

F/AYou must know I miss you

Cm/GBut what can I say

FRules must be obeyed

A#The judges will decide

D7 GmThe likes of me abide

G7/B CmSpectators of the show

FAlways staying low

A#The game is on again

D7 GmA lover or a friend

G7/B CmA big thing or a small

FThe winner takes it all

A#I don't wanna talk

F/AIf it makes you feel sad

Cm/GAnd I understand

FYou've come to shake my hand

A#I apologize

F/AIf it makes you feel bad

Cm/GSeeing me so tense

FNo self-confidence, but you see …Z

A# A# D7 Gm Gm G7/BThe winner takes it all

G7/B Cm FThe winner takes it all ...

A# D7 Gm Gm G/B So the winner takes it a -all

Cm F And the loser has to fall

A# D7 Gm Gm G/B Throw a di-ice, cold as ice

Cm F Way down here, someone dear

A# D7 Gm Gm G/B Takes it a-all, has to fall

Cm F It seems plain to me ...
