Abba – The winner takes it all

intro:

C#(sus4/2) (2x)

              F
I don't wanna talk - about the things we've gone through
                    C#(sus2)
Though it's hurting me - now it's history
            F
I've played all my cards - and that's what you've done too
                C#(sus2/4)
Nothing more to say - no more ace to play

                    Ebm(sus4/2)
The winner takes it all - the loser standing small
  C#(sus4/2)
Beside the victory - that's her destiny


              F
I was in your arms - thinking I belonged there
                  C#(sus2/4)
I figured it made sense - building me a fence
              F
Building me a home - thinking I'd be strong there
            C#(sus2/4)
But I was a fool - playing by the rules


                     Ebm(sus4/2)
The gods may throw a dice - their minds as cold as ice
    C#(sus4/2)
And someone way down here - loses someone dear
                    Ebm(sus4/2)
The winner takes it all - the loser has to fall
     C#(sus4/2)
It's simple and it's plain - why should I complain.




                     F
But tell me does she kiss - Like I used to kiss you?
                 C#(sus2/4)
Does it feel the same - when she calls your name?
                 F
Somewhere deep inside - you must know I miss you
                  C#(sus2/4)
But what can I say - rules must be obeyed


                   Ebm(sus4/2)
The judges will decide - the likes of me abide
    C#(sus4/2)
Spectators of the show - always staying low
                Ebm(sus4/2)
The game is on again - a lover or a friend
  C#(sus4/2)
A big thing or a small - the winner takes it all


              F
I don't wanna talk - if it makes you feel sad
           C#(sus2/4)
And I understand - you've come to shake my hand
       F
I apologise - if it makes you feel bad
             C#(sus2/4)
Seeing me so tense - no self-confidence        ..but you see


                    Ebm(sus4/2)
The winner takes it all...
    C#(sus4/2)
The winner takes it all...
                    Ebm(sus4/2)
                       So the winner, takes it all
  C#(sus4/2)
                       And the loser, has to fall

Ebm(sus4/2)
C#(sus4/2)

(repeat)
