[Verse]
A7
There was a man
Em D
A lonely man
C G
Who lost his love through his indifference
[Verse]
A7
A heart that cared
Em D
That one time shared
C G D
Until it died within his silence
[Chorus]
G
And solitaire's the only game in town
Em
And every road that takes him, takes him down
Am D
While life goes on around him everywhere
C G
He's playing solitaire
[Verse]
A7
A little hope
Em D
Goes up in smoke
C G
Just how it goes, goes without saying
[Verse]
A7
There was a man
Em D
A lonely man
C G D
Who would command the hand he's playing
[Chorus]
G
And solitaire's the only game in town
Em
And every road that takes him, takes him down
Am D
While life goes on around him everywhere
C G E
He's playing solitaire
[Bridge]
A
And keeping to himself, begins to deal
F#m
And still the King of Hearts is well concealed
Bm E
Another losing game comes to an end
D A E
And he deals them out again
[Chorus]
A
And solitaire's the only game in town
F#m
And every road that takes him, takes him down
Bm E
While life goes on around him everywhere
N.C. Dm A
He's playing solitaire
