The Winner Takes It All

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


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


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


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


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


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


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

But you see,
                    C   Am  Dm  G
The winner takes it all
                    C   Am  Dm  G
The winner takes it all

C  Am  Dm  G  3x
