The Winner Takes It All

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


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


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


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


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


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


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

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

B  G#m  C#m  F#  3x
