[Eb] [Abm]
[Db]
I [Gb] don't wanna talk about [Db] things we've gone through
Though it's [Abm] hurting 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]
loser's [Ebm] standing small
[Eb] Beside the [Abm] victory, a [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 us, [D]
they're [Ebm] minds as cold as ice
[Eb] And [Abm] someone's way down here, loses [Db] someone dear
The winner [Gb] takes it all, [D] 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 lives [Ebm] of me or my
[Eb] Spent [Abm] shaders on the shore,
[Db] the game is [Gb] on again
[Bb] A lover [Ebm] or a friend, a [Eb] big thing [Abm] or a 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
[Ebm]
[Eb] The winner [Abm] takes it all
