[F#] [D]
[D#m] [D#]

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