[Verse]
C#
I don't wanna talk
G#/C
About things we've gone through
D#m/A#
Though it's hurting me
G#
Now it's history
C#
I've played all my cards
G#/C
And that's what you've done too
D#m/A#
Nothing more to say
G#
No more ace to play
[Chorus]
C#
The winner takes it all
F7 A#m
The loser standing small
A#7/D D#m
Beside the victory
G#
That's her destiny
[Verse]
C#
I was in your arms
G#/C
Thinking I belonged there
D#m/A#
I figured it made sense
G#
Building me a fence
C#
Building me a home
G#/C
Thinking I'd be strong there
D#m/A#
But I was a fool
G#
Playing by the rules
[Bridge]
C#
The gods may throw a dice
F7 A#m
Their minds as cold as ice
A#7/D D#m
And someone way down here
G#
Loses someone dear
[Chorus]
C#
The winner takes it all
F7 A#m
The loser has to fall
A#7/D D#m
It's simple and it's plain
G#
Why should I complain?
[Verse]
C#
But tell me does she kiss
G#/C
Like I used to kiss you?
D#m/A#
Does it feel the same
G#
When she calls your name?
C#
Somewhere deep inside
G#/C
You must know I miss you
D#m/A#
But what can I say
G#
Rules must be obeyed
[Bridge 2]
C#
The judges will decide
F7 A#m
The likes of me abide
A#7/D D#m
Spectators of the show
G#
Always staying low
[Bridge 3]
C#
The game is on again
F7 A#m
D# lover or a friend
A#7/D D#m
D# big thing or a small
G#
The winner takes it all
[Verse]
C#
I don't wanna talk
G#/C
If it makes you feel sad
D#m/A#
And I understand
G#
You've come to shake my hand
C#
I apologize
G#/C
If it makes you feel bad
D#m/A#
Seeing me so tense
G#
No self-confidence, but you see …Z
[Outro]
| C# | C# F7 | A#m | A#m A#7/D |
The winner takes it all
[ A#7/D ] | D#m | % | G# | % |
The winner takes it all ...
C# F7 A#m A#m A#/D
So the winner takes it a -all
D#m G#
And the loser has to fall
C# F7 A#m A#m A#/D
Throw a di-ice, cold as ice
D#m G#
Way down here, someone dear
C# F7 A#m A#m A#/D
Takes it a-all, has to fall
D#m G#
It seems plain to me ...
