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