The Winner Takes It All

Words & Music:

ABBA

 

G(sus4/sus2)  B7/#5  Em(sus4/sus2)  E/G#  Am(sus4/sus2)  D(sus4/sus2)

 

              G                             D

I don't wanna talk - about the things we've gone through

                    Am                D

Though it's hurting me - now it's history

I've played all my cards - and that's what you've done too

Nothing more to say - no more ace to play

 

CHORUS

                    G                        Em

The winner takes it all - the loser standing small

           Am                        D

Beside the victory - that's her destiny

 

I was in your arms - thinking I belonged there

I figured it made sense - building me a fence

Building me a home - thinking I'd be strong there

But I was a fool - playing by the rules

 

The gods may throw a dice - their minds as cold as ice

And someone way down here - loses someone dear

The winner takes it all - the loser has to fall

It's simple and it's plain - why should I complain.

 

But tell me does she kiss - Like I used to kiss you?

Does it feel the same - when she calls your name?

Somewhere deep inside - you must know I miss you

But what can I say - rules must be obeyed

 

The judges will decide - the likes of me abide

Spectators of the show - always staying low

The game is on again - a lover or a friend

A big thing or a small - the winner takes it all

 

I don't wanna talk - if it makes you feel sad

And I understand - you've come to shake my hand

I apologize - if it makes you feel bad

Seeing me so tense - no self-confidence

But you see - The winner takes it all - The winner takes it all...
