[Verse]
B E
I don t wanna talk,
B
About the things we ve gone through
F#m
Though its hurting me,
B
Now its history
E
I ve played all my cards
B
And that s what you ve done too
F#m
Nothing more to say,
B
No more ace to play
[Chorus]
E
The winner takes it all;
C#m
The loser standing small
F#m
Beside the victory;
B
That s her destiny
[Verse]
E
I was in your arms,
B
Thinking I belonged there
F#m
I figured it made sense;
B
Building me a fence
E
Building me a home,
B
Thinking I d be strong there
F#m
But I was a fool;
B
Playing by the rules
[Chorus]
E
The gods may throw a dice,
C#m
Their minds as cold as ice
F#m
And someone way down here;
B
Loses someone dear
E
The winner takes it all;
C#m
The loser has to fall
F#m
It s simple and its plain;
B
Why should I complain?
[Verse]
E
But tell me does she kiss,
B
Like I used to kiss you?
F#m
Does it feel the same;
B
When she calls your name?
E
Somewhere deep inside,
B
You must know I miss you
F#m
But what can I say;
B
Rules must be obeyed
[Chorus]
E
The judges will decide,
C#m
The likes of me abide
F#m
Spectators of the show,
B
Always staying low
E
The game is on again,
C#m
A lover or a friend
F#m
A big thing or a small;
B
The winner takes it all
[Outro]
E
I don t wanna talk,
B
If it makes you feel sad
F#m
And I understand;
B
You ve come to shake my hand
E
I apologize,
B
If it makes you feel bad
F#m
Seeing me so tense;
B
No self confidence
But you see,
E C#m F#m B
The winner takes it all
E C#m F#m B
The winner takes it all
E C#m F#m B 3x
