I don’t wan na (Gb)talk
a bout things we’ve (Db)gone through,
though it’s hurt ing (Abm)me,
now it’s his to (Db)ry.
I’ve played all my (Gb)cards
and that’s what you’ve (Db)done too,
no thing more to (Abm)say,
no more ace to (Db)play.
The win ner takes it (Gb)all,
the (Bb)los er stand ing (Ebm)small
be (Eb7)side the vic to (Abm)ry,
that’s her des ti (Db)ny.
I was in your (Gb)arms
think ing I be (Db)longed there,
I fi gured it made (Abm)sense,
build ing me a (Db)fence,
build ing me a (Gb)home,
think ing I’d be (Db)strong there,
but I was a (Abm)fool,
play ing by the (Db)rules.
The gods may throw a (Gb)dice,
their (Bb)minds as cold as (Ebm)ice,
and (Eb7)some one way down (Abm)here
los es some one (Db)dear.
The win ner takes it (Gb)all,
the (Bb)los er has to (Ebm)fall,
it’s (Eb7)simp le and it’s (Abm)plain,
why should I com (Db)plain?
But tell me does she (Gb)kiss
like I used to (Db)kiss you,
Does it feel the (Abm)same
when she calls your (Db)name?
Some where deep in (Gb)side,
you must know I (Db)miss you,
but what can I (Abm)say,
rules must be o (Db)beyed.
The jud ges will de (Gb)cide
the (Bb)likes of me a (Ebm)bide,
spec (Eb7)ta tors of the (Abm)show,
al ways stay ing (Db)low.
The game is on a (Gb)gain,
a (Bb)lov er or a (Ebm)friend,
a (Eb7)big thing or a (Abm)small
the win ner takes it (Db)all.
I don’t wan na (Gb)talk
if it makes you (Db)feel sad,
and I un der (Abm)stand
you’ve come to shake my (Db)hand.
I a po lo (Gb)gize
if it makes you (Db)feel bad
see ing me so (Abm)tense,

The win ner takes it (Gb)all.
The (Eb7)win ner takes it (Abm)all.
