Intro D F# Bm B7 Em A7 x 2

I don’t wanna D talk… about things we’ve A gone through
Though it’s hurting Em me, now it’s histo-A7 ry
I’ve played D all my cards and that’s what you’ve A done too
Nothing more to Em say
No more ace to A7 play

The winner takes it D all
the F# loser standing Bm small
Be-B7 side the victo-Em ry, that’s her desti-A7 ny

I was in your D arms thinking I be-A longed there
I figured it made Em sense, building me a A7 fence
Building me a D home, thinking I’d be A strong there
But I was a Em fool
Playing by the A7 rules

The gods may throw a D dice
their F# minds as cold as Bm ice
And B7 someone way down Em here, loses someone A7 dear

The winner takes it D all
the F# loser has to Bm fall
It’s B7 simple and it’s Em plain, why should I com-A7 plain

But tell me does she D kiss, like I used to A kiss you?
Does it feel the Em same when she calls your A7 name?
Somewhere D deep inside you must know I A miss you
But what can I Em say
Rules must be o-A7 beyed

The judges will de-D cide
the F# likes of me a-Bm bide
Spec-B7 tators of the Em show always staying A7 low

The game is on a-D gain a F# lover or a Bm friend
a B7 big thing or a Em small, the winner takes it A7 all

I don’t wanna D talk if it makes you A feel sad
And I under-Em stand you’ve come to shake my A7 hand
I apolo-D gise if it makes you A feel bad
Seeing me so Em tense
No self-confi-A7 dence but you see

The winner takes it D all F# Bm
The B7 winner takes it Em all A7

D So the winner F# Bm takes it all B7
Em and the loser, A7 has to fall
D Throw the dice F# Bm cold as ice
B7 Em way down here, A7 someone dear

D Takes it all, F# Bm has to fall…
