Introduction: E
C#m6 B E
There was a man, a lonely man, who lost his love, through his indifference
C#m6 B E A/B
A heart that cared, that went unshared, until it died, within his silence
E Abm
And solitaire's the only game in town
C#m
And every road that takes him takes him down
F#m A/B E A/B
And by himself it's easy to pretend, he'll never love again
E Abm
And keeping to himself he plays the game
C#m
Without her love it always ends the same
F#m A/B E A/B
While life goes on around him everywhere, he's playing solitaire
E C#m6 B E A/B
A little hope, goes up in smoke, just how it goes, goes without saying

There was a man, a lonely man, who would command, the hand he's playing
E Abm
And solitaire's the only game in town
C#m
And every road that takes him takes him down
F#m A/B E A/B
And by himself it's easy to pretend, he'll never love again
E Abm
And keeping to himself he plays the game
C#m
Without her love it always ends the same
