CHEATING AT SOLITAIRE 

        Ab                       C#         Ab 
You can lie to yourself, you can lie to the world 
        Ab                 Eb        Ab 
You can lie to the one you call your girl 
        Ab                     C#              Ab 
You can humble yourself to the hearts that you stole 
          Ab                        Eb       Ab 
Wondering who's gonna love you when you grow old 

       Fm                       C# 
With a fistful of courage and a heart full of rage 
  Ab                    Eb 
I realized I'd locked myself in a cage 
            Fm                         C# 
I'll be the one standing there with my watery eyes 
            Ab                 Eb                      Ab 
I'll be the fool in the mirror asking you why...asking why 

When I got to the end of my dirty rainbow 
and I found that there was no pot of gold 
Well, I learned that I was empty and not quite as strong 
for I had robbed my heart and cheated my soul 

Look for the one with the watery eyes 
I'll be the fool in the mirror asking you why 
Cursing lovers in a warm tender embrace 
Scoffing at the world and the whole human race 

You can run, you can hide 
You can feed your foolish pride 
You can use and abuse 
In the end you'll always lose...at the game 

(Solo) 

You can run, you can hide 
You can feed your foolish pride 
with the hearts that you stole 
and an empty pot of gold 
and the lover's warm embrace 
and the whole damned human race 
You can use and abuse 
in the end you'll always lose...at the game 

      Ab                C#  Ab 
For I cheated myself at solitaire
