G
I don't wanna talk
                  D
About the things we've gone through
            Am
Though it's hurting me
            D
Now it's history
( G      D      Am      D )
I've played all my cards

And that's what you've done too

Nothing more to say

No more ace to play


            G
The winner takes it all
            Em7
The loser standing small
            Am
Beside the victory
            D
That's her destiny


( G      D      Am      D )
I was in your arms

Thinking I belonged there

I figured it made sense

Building me a fence
( G      D      Am      D )
Building me a home

Thinking I'd be strong there

But I was a fool

Playing by the rules


( G      Em7      Am      D )
The gods may throw a dice

Their minds as cold as ice

And someone way down here

Loses someone dear
( G      Em7      Am      D )
The winner takes it all

The loser has to fall

It's simple and it's plain

Why should I complain.


( G      D      Am      D )
But tell me does she kiss

Like I used to kiss you?

Does it feel the same

When she calls your name?
( G      D      Am      D )
Somewhere deep inside

You must know I miss you

But what can I say

Rules must be obeyed


( G      D      Am      D )
The judges will decide

The likes of me abide

Spectators of the show

Always staying low
( G      Em7      Am      D )
The game is on again

A lover or a friend

A big thing or a small

The winner takes it all


( G      D      Am      D )
I don't wanna talk

If it makes you feel sad

And I understand

You've come to shake my hand
( G      D      Am      D )
I apologize

If it makes you feel bad

Seeing me so tense

No self-confidence

But you see
( G      D      Am      D )
The winner takes it all

The winner takes it all...
