The Winner Takes It All

[Intro] 0:00

Verse 1: 0:32
               F#
I don't wanna talk
                        C#
About the things we've gone through
                     G#m
Though it's hurting me
               C#
Now it's history
0:48
                    F#
I've played all my cards
                        C#
And that's what you've done too
                 G#m
Nothing more to say
                 C#
No more ace to play

Chorus: 1:03
                    F#
The winner takes it all
                     D#m
The loser standing small
                 G#m
Beside the victory
                 C#
That's her destiny

Verse 2: 1:19
              F#
I was in your arms
              C#
Thinking I belonged there
                   G#m
I figured it made sense
               C#
Building me a fence
1:34
               F#
Building me a home
                   C#
Thinking I'd be strong there
             G#m
But I was a fool
                C#
Playing by the rules

Chorus: 1:49
                      F#
The gods may throw a dice
                       D#m
Their minds as cold as ice
                      G#m
And someone way down here
               C#
Loses someone dear
2:04
                    F#
The winner takes it all
                  D#m
The loser has to fall
                       G#m
It's simple and it's plain
                  C#
Why should I complain?

Verse 3: 2:19
                      F#
But tell me does she kiss
                C#
Like I used to kiss you?
                  G#m
Does it feel the same
                     C#
When she calls your name?
2:35
                  F#
Somewhere deep inside
                 C#
You must know I miss you
                G#m
But what can I say
                C#
Rules must be obeyed

Chorus: 2:50
                   F#
The judges will decide
                  D#m
The likes of me abide
                    G#m
Spectators of the show
                C#
Always staying low
3:05
                 F#
The game is on again
                D#m
A lover or a friend
                   G#m
A big thing or a small
                    C#
The winner takes it all

Verse 4: 3:22
               F#
I don't wanna talk
                 C#
If it makes you feel sad
             G#m
And I understand
                         C#
You've come to shake my hand
3:38
        F#
I apologize
                 C#
If it makes you feel bad
              G#m
Seeing me so tense
              C#
No self-confidence

But you see...

                    F# | D#m | G#m | C#
The winner takes it all...
