[Verse 1]
I don't wFanna talk
About things Cwe've gone through
Though it's hurtGming me, now it's C7history
I've played Fall my cards
And that's what Cyou've done, too
Nothing more Gmto say, no morC7e ace to play
[Chorus 1]
The winner tFakes it all
The loser's stanDmding small
Beside the Gmvictory
That's her Cdestiny
[Verse 2]
I was in Fyour arms
Thinking I Cbelonged there
I figured it made Gmsense, building me a C7fence
Building me Fa home
Thinking I'd be Cstrong there
But I was a Gmfool playing by the C7rules
[Chorus 2]
The gods may tFhrow the dice
Their minds as Dmcold as ice
And someone Gmway down here
Loses someone Cdear
The winner Ftakes it all
The loser Dmhas to fall
It's simple and it's Gmplain
Why should I Ccomplain?
[Verse 3]
But tell me, does Fshe kiss
Like I used to Ckiss you?
Does it feel the Gmsame when she calls your C7name?
Somewhere deeFp inside
You must know I Cmiss you
But what can I Gmsay? Rules must be C7obeyed
[Chorus 3]
The judges will Fdecide (They decide)
The likes of me Dmabide (We abide)
Spectators of the Gmshow (Of the show)
Always staying Clow (Staying low)
The game is on Fagain (On again)
A lover or a Dmfriend (Or a friend)
A big thing or a Gmsmall (Big or small)
The winner takes it Call (Takes it all)
[Verse 4]

I don't wanna talk

If it makes you feel sad

And I understand, you've come to shake my hand
    F*
I apologise

But you see, the winner takes it all
The winner takes it Gmall (the winner takes it Call)
[Outro]
The winner takes it Fall (So the winner takes it Dmall)
And the loser has to Gmfall (And the loser Chas to fall)
And the gods may Fthrow a dice (Throw a dice)
(Dmcold as ice)
And their minds as Gmcold as ice (Way down here)
(Someone Cdear)
The winner takes it Fall (Takes it all Dmhas to fall)
It's simple and it's Gmplain (it seems plain)

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

I don't wanna talk

About things we've gone through

Gm C7

Though it's hurting me, now it's history

I've played all my cards

And that's what you've done, too

Gm C7

Nothing more to say, no more ace to play

[Chorus 1]

The winner takes it all

The loser's standing small

Beside the victory

That's her destiny

[Verse 2]

I was in your arms

Thinking I belonged there

Gm C7

I figured it made sense, building me a fence

Building me a home

Thinking I'd be strong there

Gm C7

But I was a fool playing by the rules

[Chorus 2]

The gods may throw the dice

Their minds as cold as ice

And someone way down here

Loses someone dear

The winner takes it all

The loser has to fall

It's simple and it's plain

Why should I complain?

[Verse 3]

But tell me, does she kiss

Like I used to kiss you?

Gm C7

Does it feel the same when she calls your name?

Somewhere deep inside

You must know I miss you

Gm C7

But what can I say? Rules must be obeyed

[Chorus 3]

The judges will decide (They decide)

The likes of me abide (We abide)

Spectators of the show (Of the show)

Always staying low (Staying low)

The game is on again (On again)

A lover or a friend (Or a friend)

A big thing or a small (Big or small)

The winner takes it all (Takes it all)

[Verse 4]

I don't wanna talk

If it makes you feel sad

Gm C7

And I understand, you've come to shake my hand

I apologise

If it makes you feel bad

Seeing me so tense, no self-confidence

But you see, the winner takes it all

The winner takes it all (the winner takes it all)

[Outro]

F Dm

The winner takes it all (So the winner takes it all)

Gm C

And the loser has to fall (And the loser has to fall)

And the gods may throw a dice (Throw a dice)

(cold as ice)

And their minds as cold as ice (Way down here)

(Someone dear)

F Dm

The winner takes it all (Takes it all has to fall)

It's simple and it's plain (it seems plain)

Why should I complain
