I [Gb] don't wanna talk [Db] about things we've gone through
Though it's [Abm] hurting me, now it's [Db] history
I've [Gb] played all my parts, and that's [Db] what you've done too
Nothing [Abm] more to say, [Db] [Abm] no more [Db] ace to play
The winner [Gb] takes it all, the [Bb] loser's [Ebm] standing small
[Eb] Beside the [Abm] victory, that's our [Db] destiny
I was [Gb] in your eyes, thinking [Db] I belonged there
I figured [Abm] it made sense, building [Db] me a fence
Building [Gb] me a home, thinking [Db] I'd be strong there
But I was a [Abm]
fool, playing [Db] by the rules
The gods [Gb] made wrong with [D] their minds, [Bb] as [Ebm] cold as I
[Eb] And [Abm] someone weighed down, and loses [Db] someone dear
The winner [Gb] takes it all, [Bb] the loser [Ebm] has to fall
[Eb] It's simple [Abm] and it's plain, why [Db] should I complain?
But tell [Gb] me, does she kiss, like I [Db] used to kiss you?
Does it feel [Abm] the same, when she [Db] calls your name?
[Gb]
Somewhere deep inside, you must [Db] know I miss you
But [Abm] what can I say, rules must [Db] be obeyed
The judges [Gb] will decide, [D] the likes [Ebm] of me or I
[Eb] [Abm] Spectators on the show, [Db]
the game is [Gb] on again
A [Bb] lover, [Ebm] or a [Eb] big thing, [Abm] or a small, small
I [Db]
don't wanna [Gb] talk, if it [Db] makes you feel sad
And I [Abm] understand, you've come to [Db] shake my hand
I [Gb] apologize, if it [Db] makes you feel bad
Seeing me [Abm] so tense, [Db]
[Abm] no [Db] self-confidence
But you see, the winner [Gb] takes it all
