Intro:  C  C  C  C

  C          F          C
Any time love is on the table the stakes are high
      Bb             F         C
   And I thought this was love so I laid it all on the line
      Dm        Am     F          Dm
You nearly took everything I had. Never knew I could hurt so bad
    Bb           F           C
But at least I left with every piece of this heart of mine

Chorus
       Bb  F    C       Am         G
I'm walking a-way a winner    Walking a-way from a losing game.
    Bb    F      C          Dm
With my pride in-tact and my  vision back I can say
         Am     F        G
I know where I'm going and I know I'll be al-right.
       Bb  F   G          C   C  C  C
I'm walking a-way a winner walking back into my life.

     C           F          C
It was a hard way to go when I didn't know when to leave
         Bb          F          C
   And if you knew all along baby, you weren't telling me
   Dm            Am
Now I know what I can live with-out.
  F              Dm
I'm heading down the right road now
     Bb            F           C
Still be-lieving in the way that a real love is meant to be

(Repeat Chorus)

Walking back into my life. Walking a-way a winner.
C      F    C    C  C       Bb   F
Walking back into my life.      Walking a-way a winner.
