The Winner Takes It All

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


[Chorus]
                    D#
The winner takes it all;
                   Cm
The loser standing small
                Fm
Beside the victory;
                A#
That s her destiny


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


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


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


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


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

But you see,
                    D#   Cm  Fm  A#
The winner takes it all
                    D#   Cm  Fm  A#
The winner takes it all

D#  Cm  Fm  A#  3x
