[Intro]

D A Em A

[Verse]

D A

I don't wanna talk about the things we've gone through

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

Nothing more to say

No more ace to play

[Chorus]

The winner takes it all

The loser standing small

Beside the victory

That's her destiny

[Verse]

I was in your arms

Thinking I belonged there

I figured it made sense

Building me a fence

Building me a home

A Em

Thinking I'd be strong there but I was a fool

Playing by the rules

Yeah

[Chorus]

The gods may throw a dice

Their minds as cold as ice

Em A

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]

D A

But tell me does he kiss like I used to kiss you

Em A

Does it feel the same when he calls your name

D A

Somewhere deep inside you must know I miss you

But what can I say

Rules must be obeyed

[Chorus]

The judges will decide

The likes of me abide

Em A

Spectators of the show always staying low

Yeah

The game is on again

(The game is on again)

A lover or a friend

A big thing or a small

The winner takes it all

[Verse]

D A

I don't wanna talk if it makes you feel sad

And I understand

You've come to shake my hand

D A

I apologize if it makes you feel bad seeing me so tense

Em A

No self confidence

[Chorus/Ending]

But you see the winner takes it all

The winner takes it all

Yeah
