D5           B5 
There was a man 
F#5      B5 
A lonely man 
G5             A5   
Who lost his love 
G5               D5  
Through his indifference 
 

D5              B5 
A heart that cared 
F#5           B5 
That went unshared 
G5          A5 
Until it died 
G5            D5 
Within his silence 
 

D5                              B5 
And solitare's the only game in town 
            F#5 
And every road that takes him 
         B5 
Takes him down 
G5                            A5 
And by himself it's easy to pretend 
               D5              
He'll never love again 
 

D5                               B5 
And keeping to himself he plays the game 
        F#5 
Without her love 
                   B5 
It always ends the same 
G5                               A5 
While life goes on around him everywhere 
                 D5 
He's playing solitaire 
 

D5          B5 
A little hope 
F#5        B5 
Aoes up in smoke 
G5           A5 
Just how it goes 
G5               D5 
Aoes without saying 
 

D5         B5 
There was a man 
F#5       B5 
A lonely man 
G5             A5 
Who would command 
G5                 D5 
The hand he's playing 
 

D5                               B5 
And solitare's the only game in town 
            F#5 
And every road that takes him 
           B5 
Takes him down 
G5                           A5 
And by himself it's easy to pretend 
                  D5              
He'll never love again
