I don't wanna [Em]talk
About the things we've [C/E]gone through
Though it's [Gm/D]hurting me
Now it's [A#]history

I've played all my [Em]cards
And that's what you've [C/E]done too
Nothing more to [Gm/D]say
No more ace to [A#]play

The winner takes it [Em]all
The [A7]loser's standing [Eb]small
[D7/F#]Beside the [F#]victory
That's her [A#]destiny

I was in your [Em]arms
Thinking I [C/E]belonged there
I figured it made [Gm/D]sense
Building me a [A#]fence

Building me a [Em]home
Thinking I'd be [C/E]strong there
But I was a [Gm/D]fool
Playing by the [A#]rules

The gods may throw a [Em]dice
Their [A7]minds as cold as [Eb]ice
And [D7/F#]someone [F#]way down here
Loses someone [A#]dear

The winner takes it [Em]all (Takes it all)
The [A7]loser has to [Eb]fall (Has to fall)
It's [D7/F#]simple and it's [F#]plain (It's so plain)
Why should I [A#]complain (Why complain)

But tell me [Em]does she kiss
Like I used to [C/E]kiss you
Does it feel the [Gm/D]same
When she calls your [A#]name

Somewhere deep [Em]inside
You must know I [C/E]miss you
But what can I [Gm/D]say
Rules must be [A#]obeyed

The judges will [Em]decide (Will decide)
The [A7]likes of me [Eb]abide (Me abide)
[D7/F#]Spectators of the [F#]show (Of the show)
Always staying [A#]low (Staying low)

The game is on [Em]again (On again)
A [A7]lover or a [Eb]friend (Or a friend)
A [D7/F#]big thing or a [F#]small (Big or small)
The winner takes it [A#]all (Takes it all)

I don't wanna [Em]talk
If it makes you [C/E]feel sad
And I [Gm/D]understand
You've come to shake my [A#]hand

I [Em]apologize
If it makes you [C/E]feel bad
Seeing me so [Gm/D]tense
No [A#]self-confidence

But you see

The winner takes it [Em]all
[A7] [Eb] [D7/F#]
The [D7/F#]winner takes it [F#]all
[A#]

( [Em]So the [A7]winner [Eb]takes it [D/F#]all
[F#]And the loser [A#]has to fall
[Em]Throw the [A7]dice, [Eb]cold as [D/F#]ice
[F#]Way down here, [A#]someone dear
[Em]Takes it [A7]all, [Eb]has to [D/F#]fall
[F#]And it's plain, [A#]I complain)⠀
