Introdução: E 
 
                 C#m6            
There was a man, a lonely man 
  B                                     E        
Who lost his love, hrough his indifference  
                   C#m6                         
A heart that cared, that went unshared 
B                     E        A/B  
Until it died, within his silence  
E                              Abm/Eb  
And solitaire's the only game in town  
C#m  
And every road that takes him takes him down  
F#m                           A/B      
And by himself it's easy to pretend   
                   E    A/B  
He'll never love again  
E               Abm/Eb  
And keeping to him self he plays the game  
C#m  
Without her love it always ends the same  
F#m                A/B                                
While life goes on around him everywhere 
                 E    A/B 
He's playing solitaire  
E                   C#m6           B                     
A little hope, goes up in smoke, just how it goes 
             E      A/B 
Goes without saying  
E                C#m6                
There was a man,   a lonely man  
    B                            E       A/B     
Who would command, the hand he's playing  
E                                Abm/Eb  
And solitaire's the only game in town  
C#m  
And every road that takes him takes him down  
F#m                                A/B  
And by himself it's easy to pretend 
              E     A/B 
He'll never love again  
E                                   Abm/Eb  
And keeping to himself he plays the game  
C#m  
Without her love it always ends the same  
F#m                               A/B     
While life goes on around him everywhere,  
              E         A/B 
He's playing solitaire  
E                                Abm/Eb  
And solitaire's the only game in town  
C#m  
And every road that takes him takes him down  
F#m                                A/B  
While life goes on around him everywhere 
              E     C#m F#m A/B E 
He's playing solitaire
