(Main theme at bottom)
Verse 1
[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
Chorus
[D] [Bm7]
The winner takes it all, the loser standing small
[Em] [A]
Beside the victory - that's her destiny
Verse 2
[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
Chorus
[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?
Verse 3
[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.
Chorus
[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
Outro
[D] [Bm7] |
But you see, the winner takes it all |(Repeat to fade-out)
[Em] [A] |
The winner takes it all... |
