The Winner Takes It All

   1. I don't wanna talk about the things we've gone through, 
   		             a                 D 
       though it's hurting me, now it's history. 
                           G                             D 
       I've played all my cards, and that's what you've done too, 
                        a                    D 
       nothing more to say, no more ace to play. 
 
   		             G                        e 
       The winner takes it all, the loser's standing small, 
   		         a                  D 
       beside the victory that's a destiny. 
 
                     G                  D 
   2. I was in your arms, thinking I belonged there, 
                          a                    D 
       I figured it made sense, building me a fence. 
                      G                       D 
       Building me a home, thinking I'd be strong there, 
                    a                    D 
       but I was a fool, playing by the rules. 
 
                             G                            e 
       The gods may throw a dice, their minds as cold as ice, 
                             a                  D 
       and someone way down here loses someone dear. 
                            G                     e 
       The winner takes it all, the loser has to fall, 
                              a                      D 
       it's simple and it's plain, why should I complain? 
 
                            G                   D 
   3. But tell me does she kiss like I used to kiss you? 
                         a                        D 
       Does it feel the same when she calls your name? 
                         G                    D 
       Somewhere deep inside you must know I miss you, 
                       a                   D 
       but what can I say, rules must be obeyed. 
 
   4. The judges will decide, the likes of me abide, 
       spectators of the show, always staying low, 
       the game is on again, a lover or a friend, 
       a big thing or a small, the winner takes it all. 
 
       I don't wanna talk, if it makes you feel sad 
       and I understand, you've come to shake my hand 
       I apologize if it makes you feel bad 
       seeing me so tense, no self-confidence 
 
 
      but you see... 
      The winner takes it all.... 
      The winner takes it all....
