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 Goes up in smoke G A Just how it goes G D Goes 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 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 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 ambChile
