Intro: F#  F#  F#  A#
       D#m D#m D#m D#
       G#m G#m G#m G#m
       C#  C#  C#  C#

               F#
I don't wanna talk
                  C#
About the things we've gone through
                     G#m
Though it's hurting me
             C#
Now it's history
            F#
I've played all my cards
                        C#
And that's what you've done too
                 G#m
Nothing more to say
                 C#
No more ace to play

Chorus:
                    F#
The winner takes it all
     A#              D#m
The loser standing small
   D#          G#m
Beside the victory
               C#
That's her destiny

           F#
I was in your arms
          C#
Thinking I belonged there
                   G#m
I figured it made sense
               C#
Building me a fence
            F#
Building me a home
              C#
Thinking I'd be strong there
             G#m
But I was a fool
             C#
Playing by the rules

Chorus:
                F#
The gods may throw a dice
       A#       D#m
Their minds as cold as ice
     D#      G#m
And someone way down here
          C#
Loses someone dear
                F#
The winner takes it all
     A#         D#m
The loser has to fall
      D#           G#m
It's simple and it's plain
             C#
Why should I complain?

           F#
But tell me does she kiss
            C#
Like I used to kiss you?
                  G#m
Does it feel the same
                     C#
When she calls your name?
           F#
Somewhere deep inside
               C#
You must know I miss you
            G#m
But what can I say
                C#
Rules must be obeyed

Chorus:
            F#
The judges will decide
     A#       D#m
The likes of me abide
     D#          G#m
Spectators of the show
           C#
Always staying low
            F#
The game is on again
   A#       D#m
A lover or a friend
   D#            G#m
A big thing or a small
                    C#
The winner takes it all

               F#
I don't wanna talk
              C#
If it makes you feel sad
             G#m
And I understand
                      C#
You've come to shake my hand
      F#
I apologize
              C#
If it makes you feel bad
              G#m
Seeing me so tense
           C#
No self-confidence
But you see...

                 F# F# F# A# D#m D#m D#m
The winner takes it all
     D#        G#m G#m G#m G#m C# C# C# C#
The winner takes it all
