Solitaire

Intro: D


Verse1:
D               Bm              A
There was a man, a lonely man
Who lost his love, through his 
  G    D  -  A          D
indifference
D                 Bm      
A heart that cared that went 
             A
unshared
                         G D      A
Until it died within his silence


Chorus:
    D
And solitaire’s the only game in 
town
    Bm
And every road that takes him, takes
 him down
       G                    A
And by himself it’s easy to pretend
            G     D    A
He’ll never love again

    D
And keeping to himself he plays the 
game
    Bm
Without her love it always ends the 
same
      G                      
While life goes on around him 
      A
everywhere

He’s playing solitaire


Verse2:
D           Bm               A
Another day, a lonely day
                           G  D    A
So much to say that goes unspoken
D                     Bm         
And through the night, his 
             A
sleepless nights
His eyes are closed, his heart is 
G  D      A
broken


Chorus:
    D
And solitaire’s the only game in 
town
    Bm
And every road that takes him, takes
 him down
       G                    A
And by himself it’s easy to pretend
             G     D    A
She’s coming back again

    D
And keeping to himself he plays the 
game
    Bm
Without her love it always ends the 
same
      G                      
While life goes on around him 
      A
everywhere
             G   D       A
He’s playing solitaire


Verse3:
D            Bm                  A
A little hope goes up in smoke
Just how it goes, goes without 
G D     A
saying
