The Winner Takes It All

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