WINNER TAKES IT ALL
ABBA SING THIS IN F#
INTRODUCTION
[F#] [D#m] [G#m] [C#]
[F#] [D#m] [G#m] [C#]
VERSE 1 SPOKEN
[F#]I don't wanna talk - about the things we've [C#]gone through
Though it's hurting [G#m]me - now its hist - [C#]ory
I've played all my ca[F#]rds - and that's what you've d[C#]one too
Nothing more to [G#m]say - no more ace to p[C#]lay
CHORUS
The winner takes it [F#]all [A#7] - the loser standing sm[D#m]all [D#]
Beside the vict[G#m]ory - that's her dest[C#]iny
VERSE 2
I was in your [F#]arms thinking I be - lo[C#]nged there
I figured it made [G#m]sense - building me a f[C#]ence
Building me a [F#]home - thinking I'd be str[C#]ong there
But I was a [G#m]fool - playing by the ru[C#]les
CHORUS
The gods may throw a [F#]dice [A#7]- their minds as cold as[D#m] ice [D#]
And someone way down [G#m]here - loses someone [C#]dear
The winner takes it a[F#]ll [A#7]- the loser has to f[D#m]all [D#]
It's simple and it's [G#m]plain - why should I comp[C#]lain.
VERSE 3
But tell me does she k[F#]iss - Like I used to k[C#]iss you?
Does it feel the [G#m]same - when she calls your n[C#]ame?
Somewhere deep in ? s[F#]ide - you must know I m[C#]iss you
But what can I [G#m]say - rules must be ob[C#]eyed
CHORUS
The judges will dec[F#]ide [A#7]- the likes of me a - [D#m]bide [D#]
Spectators of the [G#m]show - always staying l[C#]ow
The game is on a ? g[F#]ain [A#7]- a lover or a f[D#m]riend[D#]
A big thing or a s[G#m]mall - the winner takes it a[C#]ll
VERSE 4 SPOKEN
I don't wanna t[F#]alk - if it makes you feel s[C#]ad
And I under[G#m]stand - you've come to shake my h[C#]and
I apolog[F#]ise - if it makes you f[C#]eel bad
Seeing me so t[G#m]ense - no self-confi - d[C#]ence ... but you see
CHORUS
The winner takes it [F#]all........[D#m]......
The winner takes it [G#m]all.........[C#]....
[F#]So the winner, ta[D#m]kes it all
[G#m]And the loser, [C#]has to fall
[F#]Cold as ice, th[D#m]row a dice
[G#m]Way down here,....... s[C#]omeone dear
[F#]Takes it all and fade
