_ _ _ _ _ I don't [F#] wanna talk _ _ _ _ about [C#]
things we've gone through
_ Though it's hurting [G#m] me, _ _ _ [D#m] now it's [C#] history
_ _ _ _ I've [F#] played all my cards, _ and that's what [C#] you've done too
_ _ Nothing more [G#m] to say, _ [C#] _ no more ace to play
_ _ The winner [F#] takes it all, _ _ the [A#] loser's [D#m] standing small _ _
Beside [G#m] the victory, _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] I was in your arms _ _ _
Thinking [C#] I belong there, I figured [G#m] it made sense
_ [D#m] _ _
Building [C#] me a _ fence, _ _ building [F#] me a home _ _
Thinking [C#] I'd be strong there, _ but I [G#m] was a fool _ _ _
Playing [C#] by the _ rules, the gods [F#] made wrong ones _ _ _
[A#] Their [D#m] minds as cold as ice, _ and [G#m] some were greedy _ _ _
_ [C#] Loses someone dear, _ _ the winner [F#] takes it all _ _
The loser has to fall, _ [D#] _
it's [G#m] simple and it's _ strange
Why _ should I compete?
[C#] _ _ _
But tell [F#] me, does she kiss _ _ _ like I [C#] used to kiss you? _ _
Does it feel [G#m] the same _ when _
[D#m] she [C#] calls your name? _ _
_ [F#] Somewhere deep inside, you must [C#] know I miss you
[Fm] _ _ _
[C#] But [G#m] what can I say? _ _ _
Rules [C#] must be _ _ obeyed
The judges [F#] will decide _ _
The [D#m] likes of me go by _ _
[D#] _ [G#m] Spectators on the show _ _ _ _
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _
The game is [F#] all _ _ _ laid
But never was
_ [D#m] _ _ [A#] _ _
[D#] _ _ [G#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I [F#] don't wanna talk _
_ _ _ _ If it [C#] makes you feel sad
_ _ And I [G#m] understand _
_ _ You've come to [C#] shake my hand
_ _ _ I [F#] apologize
_ If _ it makes [C#] you feel bad
_ Seeing me so [D#m] tense
_ _ _ _ No [C#] self-confidence
But you see, the winner [F#] takes it all
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D#m] _ _ _ _ _ [D#] _ _ [G#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _
