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?
Am/E
Does it feel the same
D
When she calls your name?
G
Somewhere deep inside
D/F#
You must know I miss you
Am/E
But what can I say
D
Rules must be obeyed
[CHORUS 3]
G
The judges will decide
B7/D# Em
The likes of me abide
E7/G# Am
Spectators of the show
D
Always staying low
G
The game is on again
B7/D# Em
A lover or a friend
E7/G# Am
A big thing or a small
D
The winner takes it all
[VERSE 4]
G
I don't wanna talk
D/F#
If it makes you feel sad
Am/E
And I understand
D
You come to shake my hand
G
I apologize
D/F#
If it makes you feel bad
Am/E
Seeing me so tense
D
No self-confidence
[OUTRO]
G B7/D# Em
The winner takes it all
E7/G# Am D
The winner takes it all...

Am D :|| Repeat and fade...
