The Winner Takes It All

[Verse]
C#              F#
I don t wanna talk,
                       C#
About the things we ve gone through
                   G#m
Though its hurting me,
             C#
Now its history
                   F#
I ve played all my cards
                       C#
And that s what you ve done too
                G#m
Nothing more to say,
               C#
No more ace to play


[Chorus]
                    F#
The winner takes it all;
                   D#m
The loser standing small
                G#m
Beside the victory;
                C#
That s her destiny


[Verse]
              F#
I was in your arms,
             C#
Thinking I belonged there
                  G#m
I figured it made sense;
              C#
Building me a fence
              F#
Building me a home,
                C#
Thinking I d be strong there
            G#m
But I was a fool;
               C#
Playing by the rules


[Chorus]
                     F#
The gods may throw a dice,
                       D#m
Their minds as cold as ice
                     G#m
And someone way down here;
              C#
Loses someone dear
                    F#
The winner takes it all;
                 D#m
The loser has to fall
                    G#m
It s simple and its plain;
                C#
Why should I complain?


[Verse]
                     F#
But tell me does she kiss,
               C#
Like I used to kiss you?
                 G#m
Does it feel the same;
                    C#
When she calls your name?
                 F#
Somewhere deep inside,
                C#
You must know I miss you
               G#m
But what can I say;
               C#
Rules must be obeyed


[Chorus]
                  F#
The judges will decide,
                 D#m
The likes of me abide
                  G#m
Spectators of the show,
               C#
Always staying low
                F#
The game is on again,
             D#m
A lover or a friend
                 G#m
A big thing or a small;
                    C#
The winner takes it all


[Outro]
              F#
I don t wanna talk,
                C#
If it makes you feel sad
           G#m
And I understand;
                        C#
You ve come to shake my hand
       F#
I apologize,
                C#
If it makes you feel bad
             G#m
Seeing me so tense;
             C#
No self confidence

But you see,
                    F#   D#m  G#m  C#
The winner takes it all
                    F#   D#m  G#m  C#
The winner takes it all

F#  D#m  G#m  C#  3x
