The original is played in Gb, but I made it G to simplify things a bit. Note that the Intro, Chorus and Outro keeps this rhythm: G (1234 12) B7/D (34) Em (1234 12) E7/G# (34) Am (1234 1234) D (1234 1234) It will be easier to understand how to play if you keep that pattern in mind. Listen to the song to get the exact pattern, and enjoy! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTRO: G B7/D Em E7/G# Am D VERSE 1: G I don't wanna talk D/F# About things we've gone through Am/E Though it's hurting me D Now it's history G I've played all my cards D/F# And that's what you've done too Am/E Nothing more to say D No more ace to play CHORUS 1: G The winner takes it all B7/D Em The loser standing small E7/G# Am Beside the victory D That's her destiny VERSE 2: G I was in your arms D/F# Thinking I belonged there Am/E I figured it made sense D Building me a fence G Building me a home D/F# Thinking I'd be strong there Am/E But I was a fool D Playing by the rules CHORUS 2: G The gods may throw the dice B7/D Em Their minds as cold as ice E7/G# Am And someone way down here D Loses someone dear G The winner takes it all B7/D Em The loser has to fall E7/G# Am It's simple and it's plain D Why should I complain VERSE 3: G But tell me does she kiss D/F# Like I used to kiss you?
