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 
Aoes up in smoke 
G           A 
Just how it goes 
G               D 
Aoes 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

                  D              
He'll never love again
