[Eb] [Abm]
[Db]
I don't [Gb] wanna talk about [Db] things we've gone through
Though it's hurting [Abm]
me, now it's [Db]
history
I've [Gb] played all my cards, and that's what [Db] you've done too
Nothing more [Abm] to say, [Db] [Abm] no more [Db] ace to play
The winner [Gb] takes it all, the [Bb]
[Ebm] loser's standing small
[Eb] Beside the [Abm] victory, the [Db] destiny
I was [Gb] in your arms, thinking [Db] I belong 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 [Abm] was a fool, playing by [Db] the rules
The gods [Gb] made wrong with them, their [Bb] minds [Ebm] as cold as ice
[Eb] And [Abm] someone's free now, loses [Db] someone
The winner [Gb] takes it all, the [Bb] loser [Ebm] had to fall
[Eb] It's simple [Abm] and it's straight, 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?
Somewhere [Gb] deep inside, you must [Db] know I miss you
But what [Abm] can I say, rules must [Db] be obeyed
The judges [Gb] will decide, [D]
the likes [Ebm] of me or my
[Eb]
[Abm] Spectators on the show,
[Db] the game is [Gb] on again
[Bb] Another [Ebm] or afraid, [Eb] a big [Abm] game or a small
[Db]
[Gb]
If it [Db] makes you feel sad, and I [Abm] understand
You've come to [Db] shake my hand, I [Gb] apologize
[B] If [Gb] it [Db] makes you feel bad, seeing me [Abm] so tense
[Db] [Abm] No [Db] self-confidence, [Gb] but you see
[Db] The winner [Gb] takes it all
