The Winner Takes It All – ABBA

I don't wanna [G] ta lk 
About the things we've [D] g one through 
Though it's [Am] hurt ing me 
Now it's [D] history 
[G] I've [D] pla yed [Am] all my [D] cards 
And that's what you've done too 
Nothing more to say 
No more ace to play 
The winner [G] takes it all 
The loser [Em7] standi ng small 
Beside the [Am] victo ry 
That's her [D] desti ny… 
[G] I was [D] in your [Am] ar [D] ms 
Thinking I belonged there 
I figured it made sense 
Building me a fence 
[G] Building [D] me a [Am] ho [D] me 
Thinking I'd be strong there 
But I was a fool 
Playing by the rules 
[G] The [Em7] gods may [Am] thr ow [D] a dic e 
Their minds as cold as ice 
And someone way down here 
Loses someone dear 
[G] The [Em7] winn er [Am] takes [D] it all 
The loser has to fall 
It's simple and it's plain 
Why should I complain. 
[G] But [D] tell me [Am] does she [D] kis s 
Like I used to kiss you? 
Does it feel the same 
When she calls your name? 
[G] Somewher [D] e deep [Am] i [D] nside 
You must know I miss you 
But what can I say 
Rules must be obeyed 
[G] The [D] judg es [Am] will [D] decide 
The likes of me abide 
Spectators of the show 
Always staying low 
[G] The [Em7] game is [Am] on a [D] gain 
A lover or a friend 
A big thing or a small 
The winner takes it all 
[G] I don't [D] wanna [Am] ta [D] lk 
If it makes you feel sad 
And I understand 
You've come to shake my hand 
[G] I [D] apolog [D] ize 
If it makes you feel bad 
Seeing me so tense 
No self-confidence 
But you see 
[G] The [D] winn er [Am] takes it [D] all 
The winner takes it all…
