D Bm
There was a man
F#m Bm
A lonely man
G A
Who lost his love
G D
Through his indifference
D Bm
A heart that cared
F#m Bm
That went unshared
G A
Until it died
G D
Within his silence
D Bm
And solitare's the only game in town
F#m
And every road that takes him
Bm
Takes him down
G A
And by himself it's easy to pretend
D
He'll never love again
D Bm
And keeping to himself he plays the game
F#m
Without her love
Bm
It always ends the same
G A
While life goes on around him everywhere
D
He's playing solitaire
D Bm
A little hope
F#m Bm
Goes up in smoke
G A
Just how it goes
G D
Goes without saying
D Bm
There was a man
F#m Bm
A lonely man
G A
Who would command
G D
The hand he's playing
D Bm
And solitare's the only game in town
F#m
And every road that takes him
Bm
Takes him down
G A
And by himself it's easy to pretend
D
He'll never love again
D Bm
And keeping to himself he plays the game
F#m
Without her love
Bm
It always ends the same
G A
While life goes on around him everywhere
D
He's playing solitaire
D Bm
And solitare's the only game in town
F#m
And every road that takes him
Bm
Takes him down
G A
And by himself it's easy to pretend
D
He'll never love again
