 The Winner Takes It All chords
 Abba *
 
 Capo IV
 
 A              D   
 I don t wanna talk,
                        A           
 About the things we ve gone through
                    Em 
 Though its hurting me,
              A 
 Now its history
                    D    
 I ve played all my cards
                        A       
 And that s what you ve done too
                 Em  
 Nothing more to say,
                A   
 No more ace to play
 
                     D   
 The winner takes it all;
                    Bm   
 The loser standing small
                 Em 
 Beside the victory;
                 A 
 That s her destiny
 
               D    
 I was in your arms,
              A           
 Thinking I belonged there
                   Em    
 I figured it made sense;
               A    
 Building me a fence
               D    
 Building me a home,
                 A           
 Thinking I d be strong there
             Em   
 But I was a fool;
                A    
 Playing by the rules
 
                      D    
 The gods may throw a dice,
                        Bm 
 Their minds as cold as ice
                      Em   
 And someone way down here;
               A   
 Loses someone dear
                     D   
 The winner takes it all;
                  Bm  
 The loser has to fall
                     Em    
 It s simple and its plain;
                 A     
 Why should I complain?
 
                      D    
 But tell me does she kiss,
                A        
 Like I used to kiss you?
                  Em   
 Does it feel the same;
                     A    
 When she calls your name?
                  D    
 Somewhere deep inside,
                 A       
 You must know I miss you
                Em  
 But what can I say;
                A    
 Rules must be obeyed
 
                   D    
 The judges will decide,
                  Bm  
 The likes of me abide
                   Em   
 Spectators of the show,
                A  
 Always staying low
 
                 D    
 The game is on again,
              Bm    
 A lover or a friend
                  Em    
 A big thing or a small;
                     A  
 The winner takes it all
 
               D    
 I don t wanna talk,
                 A       
 If it makes you feel sad
            Em    
 And I understand;
                         A   
 You ve come to shake my hand
        D    
 I apologize,
                 A       
 If it makes you feel bad
              Em    
 Seeing me so tense;
              A    
 No self confidence
 
 But you see,
                     D  Bm Em A 
 The winner takes it all
                     D  Bm Em A 
 The winner takes it all
