(Main theme at bottom)

       D              A
I don't wanna talk about the things we've gone through
          Em         A
Though it's hurting me, now it's history
          D               A
I've played all my cards, and that's what you've done too
        Em         A      *********************
Nothing more to say, no more ace to play     *   Tabbed by   *

      D            Bm7
The winner takes it all, the loser standing small
      Em          A
Beside the victory - that's her destiny

       D          A
I was in your arms, thinking I belonged there
         Em          A
I figured it made sense, building me a fence
       D           A
Building me a home, thinking I'd be strong there
      Em          A
But I was a fool, playing by the rules


       D              Bm7
The gods may throw a dice, their minds as cold as ice
      Em             A
And someone way down here loses someone dear


      D            Bm7
The winner takes it all, the loser has to fall
      Em              A
It's simple and it's plain - why should I complain?


           D          A
But tell me does she kiss like I used to kiss you?
         Em         A
Does it feel the same, when she calls your name?
         D           A
Somewhere deep in-side, you must know I miss you
        Em         A
But what can I say? Rules must be obeyed.


        D          Bm7
The judges will decide, the likes of me abide
      Em             A
Spectators of the show, always staying low


      D         Bm7
The game is on again - a lover or a friend
      Em                A
A big thing or a small - the winner takes it all


       D           A
I don't wanna talk, if it makes you feel sad
      Em               A
And I understand - you've come to shake my hand
    D          A
I apologize if it makes you feel bad
       Em          A
Seeing me so tense - no self-confidence


            D       Bm7 |
But you see, the winner takes it all    |(Repeat to fade-out)
      Em        A        |
The winner takes it all...         |
