The Winner Takes It All

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


[Chorus]
                    F
The winner takes it all;
                   Dm
The loser standing small
                Gm
Beside the victory;
                C
That s her destiny


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


[Chorus]
                     F
The gods may throw a dice,
                       Dm
Their minds as cold as ice
                     Gm
And someone way down here;
              C
Loses someone dear
                    F
The winner takes it all;
                 Dm
The loser has to fall
                    Gm
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?
                 Gm
Does it feel the same;
                    C
When she calls your name?
                 F
Somewhere deep inside,
                C
You must know I miss you
               Gm
But what can I say;
               C
Rules must be obeyed


[Chorus]
                  F
The judges will decide,
                 Dm
The likes of me abide
                  Gm
Spectators of the show,
               C
Always staying low
                F
The game is on again,
             Dm
A lover or a friend
                 Gm
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
           Gm
And I understand;
                        C
You ve come to shake my hand
       F
I apologize,
                C
If it makes you feel bad
             Gm
Seeing me so tense;
             C
No self confidence

But you see,
                    F   Dm  Gm  C
The winner takes it all
                    F   Dm  Gm  C
The winner takes it all

F  Dm  Gm  C  3x
