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

D Bm Em A 3
