Rhythm tips ↓-↓↑-↑↓↑

[D] [Bm] [Em] [A] [D] [Bm] [Em] [A]

[A]I don’t wanna [D]talk about the things we’ve [A]gone through Though it’s hurting [Em]me, now it’s histo[A]ry I played all my [D]cards, and that’s what you’ve [A]done too Nothing more to [Em]say, no more ace to [A]play

The winner takes it [D]all, the loser standing [Bm]small Beside the victo[Em]ry that’s her desti[A]ny

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

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

The winner takes it [D]all, the loser has to [Bm]fall It’s simple and it’s [Em]plain why should I [A]complain?

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

The judges will de[D]cide, the likes of me a[Bm]bide Spectators of the [Em]show, always staying [A]low

The game is on a[D]gain a lover or a [Bm]friend A big thing or a [Em]small the winner takes it [A]all

I don’t wanna [D]talk, if it makes you [A]feel sad And I under[Em]stand you’ve come to shake my [A]hand I apolo[D]gize if it makes you [A]feel bad Seeing me so [Em]tense no selfconfi[A]dence But you see, the winner takes it [D]all [Bm] The winner takes it [Em]all… [A]
