Capo: 4
Intro:|D |Bm7 |Em |A |D |Bm7 |Em |A |
(Main theme at bottom)
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 * Tabbed by *

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... |

G
I don't wanna talk
D
About the things we've gone through
Am
Though it's hurting me
D
Now it's history
(G D Am D)
I've played all my cards
And that's what you've done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play
G
The winner takes it all
Em7
The loser standing small
Am
Beside the victory
D
That's her destiny
(G D Am D)
I was in your arms
Thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
Building me a fence
(G D Am D)
Building me a home
Thinking I'd be strong there
But I was a fool
Playing by the rules
(G Em7 Am D)
The gods may throw a dice
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here
Loses someone dear
(G Em7 Am D)
The winner takes it all
The loser has to fall
It's simple and it's plain
Why should I complain.
(G D Am D)
But tell me does she kiss
Like I used to kiss you?
Does it feel the same
When she calls your name?
(G D Am D)
Somewhere deep inside
You must know I miss you
But what can I say
Rules must be obeyed
(G D Am D)
The judges will decide
The likes of me abide
Spectators of the show
Always staying low
(G Em7 Am D)
The game is on again
A lover or a friend
A big thing or a small
The winner takes it all
(G D Am D)
I don't wanna talk
If it makes you feel sad
And I understand
You've come to shake my hand
(G D Am D)
I apologize
If it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense
No self-confidence
But you see
(G D Am D)
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all...
