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