 Intro: C C C C
 
     C                   F                    C   
 Any time love is on the table the stakes are high
       Bb                         F                  C   
 And I thought this was love so I laid it all on the line
            Dm                Am         F                    Dm 
 You nearly took everything I had. Never knew I could hurt so bad
        Bb                      F                      C   
 But at least I left with every piece of this heart of mine
 
 Chorus
               Bb    F      C          Am                G    
 I'm walking a-way a winner  Walking a-way from a losing game.
         Bb       F           C                  Dm 
 With my pride in-tact and my  vision back I can say
                  Am          F               G     
 I know where I'm going and I know I'll be al-right.
               Bb    F      G                    C    C C C 
 I'm walking a-way a winner walking back into my life.
 
          C                     F                   C    
 It was a hard way to go when I didn't know when to leave
            Bb                   F                   C 
 And if you knew all along baby, you weren't telling me
       Dm                        Am  
 Now I know what I can live with-out.
     F                           Dm 
 I'm heading down the right road now
          Bb                        F                     C 
 Still be-lieving in the way that a real love is meant to be
