CI don't wanna talk

G/BAbout things we've gone through

Dm/AThough it's hurting me

GNow it's history

CI've played all my cards

G/BAnd that's what you've done too

Dm/ANothing more to say

GNo more ace to play

CThe winner takes it all

E7 AmThe loser standing small

A7/C# DmBeside the victory

GThat's her destiny

CI was in your arms

G/BThinking I belonged there

Dm/AI figured it made sense

GBuilding me a fence

CBuilding me a home

G/BThinking I'd be strong there

Dm/ABut I was a fool

GPlaying by the rules

CThe gods may throw a dice

E7 AmTheir minds as cold as ice

A7/C# DmAnd someone way down here

GLoses someone dear

CThe winner takes it all

E7 AmThe loser has to fall

A7/C# DmIt's simple and it's plain

GWhy should I complain?

CBut tell me does she kiss

G/BLike I used to kiss you?

Dm/ADoes it feel the same

GWhen she calls your name?

CSomewhere deep inside

G/BYou must know I miss you

Dm/ABut what can I say

GRules must be obeyed

CThe judges will decide

E7 AmThe likes of me abide

A7/C# DmSpectators of the show

GAlways staying low

CThe game is on again

E7 AmA lover or a friend

A7/C# DmA big thing or a small

GThe winner takes it all

CI don't wanna talk

G/BIf it makes you feel sad

Dm/AAnd I understand

GYou've come to shake my hand

CI apologize

G/BIf it makes you feel bad

Dm/ASeeing me so tense

GNo self-confidence, but you see …Z

C C E7 Am Am A7/C#The winner takes it all
