BI don't wanna talk

F#/A#About things we've gone through

C#m/G#Though it's hurting me

F#Now it's history

BI've played all my cards

F#/A#And that's what you've done too

C#m/G#Nothing more to say

F#No more ace to play

BThe winner takes it all

D#7 G#mThe loser standing small

G#7/C C#mBeside the victory

F#That's her destiny

BI was in your arms

F#/A#Thinking I belonged there

C#m/G#I figured it made sense

F#Building me a fence

BBuilding me a home

F#/A#Thinking I'd be strong there

C#m/G#But I was a fool

F#Playing by the rules

BThe gods may throw a dice

D#7 G#mTheir minds as cold as ice

G#7/C C#mAnd someone way down here

F#Loses someone dear

BThe winner takes it all

D#7 G#mThe loser has to fall

G#7/C C#mIt's simple and it's plain

F#Why should I complain?

BBut tell me does she kiss

F#/A#Like I used to kiss you?

C#m/G#Does it feel the same

F#When she calls your name?

BSomewhere deep inside

F#/A#You must know I miss you

C#m/G#But what can I say

F#Rules must be obeyed

BThe judges will decide

D#7 G#mThe likes of me abide

G#7/C C#mSpectators of the show

F#Always staying low

BThe game is on again

D#7 G#mA lover or a friend

G#7/C C#mA big thing or a small

F#The winner takes it all

BI don't wanna talk

F#/A#If it makes you feel sad

C#m/G#And I understand

F#You've come to shake my hand

BI apologize

F#/A#If it makes you feel bad

C#m/G#Seeing me so tense

F#No self-confidence, but you see …Z

B B D#7 G#m G#m G#7/CThe winner takes it all

G#7/C C#m F#The winner takes it all ...

B D#7 G#m G#m G#/C So the winner takes it a -all

C#m F# And the loser has to fall

B D#7 G#m G#m G#/C Throw a di-ice, cold as ice

C#m F# Way down here, someone dear

B D#7 G#m G#m G#/C Takes it a-all, has to fall

C#m F# It seems plain to me ...
