I don’t wanna [G]ta lk
About the things we’ve [D]g one through
Though it’s [Am]hurt ing me
Now it’s [D]history
[G]I’ve [D]pla yed [Am]all my [D]cards
And that’s what you’ve done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play
The winner [G]takes it all
The loser [Em7]standi ng small
Beside the [Am]victo ry
That’s her [D]desti ny…
[G]I was [D]in your [Am]ar [D]ms
Thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
Building me a fence
[G]Building [D]me a [Am]ho [D]me
Thinking I’d be strong there
But I was a fool
Playing by the rules
[G]The [Em7]gods may [Am]thr ow [D]a dic e
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here
Loses someone dear
[G]The [Em7]winn er [Am]takes [D]it all
The loser has to fall
It’s simple and it’s plain
Why should I complain.
[G]But [D]tell me [Am]does she [D]kis s
Like I used to kiss you?
Does it feel the same
When she calls your name?
[G]Somewher [D]e deep [Am]i [D]nside
You must know I miss you
But what can I say
Rules must be obeyed
[G]The [D]judg es [Am]will [D]decide
The likes of me abide
Spectators of the show
Always staying low
[G]The [Em7]game is [Am]on a [D]gain
A lover or a friend
A big thing or a small
The winner takes it all
[G]I don’t [D]wanna [Am]ta [D]lk
If it makes you feel sad
And I understand
You’ve come to shake my hand
[G]I [D]apolog [D]ize
If it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense
No self-confidence
But you see
[G]The [D]winn er [Am]takes it [D]all
The winner takes it all…
