[Verse 1]
C
Packed my bags at fourteen
Em
I hadn't planned on leaving
Am              Am/G
But you haven't been
              F
back home for days
C
The pots and pans and roaches
Em
They're glad I'm finally going
Am
'Cause even them they
       Am/G      F     F6
 shudder at your name

[Pre-Chorus]
Am
But you don't really wanna
         Am/G        F      F6
 hear the truth, do you?
Am
It's obvious to anyone
     Am/G      F      F6
 who ever knew you
Am
That all you ever want
          Am/G
 is to be right
F
Even if that means you
              Dm
 gotta lie to do it
                      G
The only thing you've proven

[Chorus]
                C
Is that there's no one
                   Em
who ever has done better
                  Am
At making me feel worse
        Am/G           F
Now you rеally are the winner
              C
Yеah, there's nothing
                     Em
that ever did quite kill me
                   Am
More than what you did
        Am/G           F
Now you rеally are the winner
       Dm
Take a bow 'cause
            C       Em
 you're the winner
           Am
You're the winner
  Am/G   F   F6

[Verse 2]
C
Bask inside your victory
   Em
My heart that once
 was beating
Am            Am/G
Bleeding in the palm
          F     F6
of your hand
          C
Yeah, you have the
 nerve to miss me
       Em
How do I somehow feel guilty
     Am
When you're the one who
 Am/G            F
let it get this bad?

who ever knew you
Am
That all you ever wanted
        Am/G
was to fight
F
I was only tryna
              Dm
survive your chaos
                       G
Well, look at how it's paid off

[Chorus]

'Cause you don't really
                   Am/G
 want to hear the truth,
       F
do you?

How to play Winner: key, chords and progression

These are Winner chords by Conan Gray on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Winner by Conan Gray is built around C major (no sharps or flats), with 8 chords in all: C, Em, Am, Am/G, F, F6, Dm and G.

Listen for C – Em – Am – Am/G (I – iii – vi – vi in C major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – mi – lah – lah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Good to know: F and F6 are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
