"Only One Winner"
(Todd Rundgren)
Intro:
/ / / / / / / /
/ / / / / / / /
Verse 1:
/ / / /
There is only one winner (only one winner)
/ /
There is only one prize
/ / /
Whoever gets your heart is the winner (only one winner)
I'm at war with a man that I still haven't seen
/ / / /
It's a fight for life, if I lose you I'll die
[1: 2, 3: ]
Somebody's got to lose you and that's why
Verse 2:
There is only one winner
There is no second place
I only know I must be the winner
There is nothing to lose but the sight of your face
I can't stay around if I know you're not mine
Somebody's gonna be lost in your mind
Bridge 1:
There's a line
I don't want to have to follow behind
/ / /
And I just can't see myself not hugging you
Loving you
Verse 3:
There is only one winner
You're the one to decide
You've got to tell me who is the winner
Tell me who gets the broken heart, who gets the bride
Not a thing I can do - it depends upon you
But nobody wants to win more than I do
Bridge 2:
I can't lie
And I'll do anything to show you my side
I won't lie, no I won't lie
I'll do anything to bring you over to my side
/ /
Take your time, take your time
/
If you want all my
Time is yours
Time is yours
Time is yours to
Coda:
/ / / /
Make me the winner (make me the winner)
/ / /
Make me the winner, make me the winner
