Intro:|D |Bm7 |Em |A |D |Bm7 |Em |A | D A I don't wanna talk about the things we've gone through Em A Though it's hurting me, now it's history D A I've played all my cards, and that's what you've done too Em A Nothing more to say, no more ace to play D Bm7 The winner takes it all, the loser standing small Em A Beside the victory - that's her destiny D A I was in your arms, thinking I belonged there Em A I figured it made sense, building me a fence D A Building me a home, thinking I'd be strong there Em A But I was a fool, playing by the rules D Bm7 The gods may throw a dice, their minds as cold as ice Em A And someone way down here loses someone dear D Bm7 The winner takes it all, the loser has to fall Em A It's simple and it's plain - why should I complain? D A But tell me does she kiss like I used to kiss you? Em A Does it feel the same, when she calls your name? D A Somewhere deep in-side, you must know I miss you Em A But what can I say? Rules must be obeyed. D Bm7 The judges will decide, the likes of me abide Em A Spectators of the show, always staying low D Bm7 The game is on again - a lover or a friend Em A A big thing or a small - the winner takes it all D A I don't wanna talk, if it makes you feel sad Em A And I understand - you've come to shake my hand D A I apologize if it makes you feel bad Em A Seeing me so tense - no self-confidence D Bm7 | But you see, the winner takes it all |(Repeat to fade-out) Em A | The winner takes it all... |
