The Winner Takes It All - ABBA
=======================
Capo: 4
[Intro] |D |Bm7 |Em |A |D |Bm7 |Em |A |
(Main theme at bottom)

[Verse 1]
D A
I don't wanna talk about the things we've gone through
Em A
Though it's hurting me, now it's history
D A
I've played all my cards, and that's what you've done too
Em A
Nothing more to say, no more ace to play

[Chorus]
D Bm7
The winner takes it all, the loser standing small
Em A
Beside the victory - that's her destiny

[Verse 2]
D A
I was in your arms, thinking I belonged there
Em A
I figured it made sense, building me a fence
D A
Building me a home, thinking I'd be strong there
Em A
But I was a fool, playing by the rules

[Chorus]
D Bm7
The gods may throw a dice, their minds as cold as ice
Em A
And someone way down here loses someone dear

D Bm7
The winner takes it all, the loser has to fall
Em A
It's simple and it's plain - why should I complain?

[Verse 3]
D A
But tell me does she kiss like I used to kiss you?
Em A
Does it feel the same, when she calls your name?
D A
Somewhere deep in-side, you must know I miss you
Em A
But what can I say? Rules must be obeyed.

[Chorus]
D Bm7
The judges will decide, the likes of me abide
Em A
Spectators of the show, always staying low

D Bm7
The game is on again - a lover or a friend
Em A
A big thing or a small - the winner takes it all

D A
I don't wanna talk, if it makes you feel sad
Em A
And I understand - you've come to shake my hand
D A
I apologize if it makes you feel bad
Em A
Seeing me so tense - no self-confidence

[Outro]
D Bm7 |
But you see, the winner takes it all |(Repeat to fade-out)
Em A |
The winner takes it all... |
