Low-G Tuning

[Verse 1]
               G
I don't wanna talk
                     D
About things we've gone through
                    Am
Though it's hurting me
               D
Now it's history
                      G
I've played all my cards
                        D
And that's what you've done too
                 Am
Nothing more to say
                  D
No more ace to play

[Chorus]
                     G
The winner takes it all
                      Em7 / Em
The loser's standing small
                 Am
Beside the victory
                 D
That's her destiny

[Verse 2]
                G
I was in your arms
                       D
Thinking I belonged there
                     Am
I figured it made sense
                  D
Building me a fence
                 G
Building me a home
                          D
Thinking I'd be strong there
              Am
But I was a fool
                  D
Playing by the rules

[Chorus]
                        G
The gods may throw the dice
                       Em7 / Em
Their minds as cold as ice
                      Am
And someone way down here
                D
Loses someone dear
                     G
The winner takes it all
                  Em7 / Em
The loser has to fall
                       Am
It's simple and it's plain
                   D
Why should I complain?

[Verse 3]
                       G
But tell me does she kiss
                      D
Like I used to kiss you?
                   Am
Does it feel the same
                      D
When she calls your name?
                   G
Somewhere deep inside
                   D
You must know I miss you
                Am
But what can I say?
                 D
Rules must be obeyed

[Chorus]
                   G
The judges will decide
                  Em7 / Em
The likes of me abide
                   Am
Spectators of the show
                D
Always staying low
                 G
The game is on again
                Em7 / Em
A lover or a friend
                   Am
A big thing or a small
                     D
The winner takes it all

[Outro]
                G
I don't wanna talk
                      D
If it makes you feel sad
              Am
And I understand
                         D
You've come to shake my hand
         G
I apologize
                  D
If it makes you feel bad
                Am
Seeing me so tense
               D
No self-confidence
But you see
                     G
The winner takes it all
                     Em7 / Em      Am       D
The winner takes it all...
