C                        Am
There was a man, -  a lonely man.
      G               G7           F      C
Who lost his love,  -  thru his indifference
   C                         Am
A heart that cared  -  that went unshared
     G          G7            F    C     G7
Until it died   -  within his silence

        C
And solitaire is the only  game in town
      Am
And every road that takes him, takes him down
       Dm                               G
While life  goes on around him  everywhere
              F      C     G7
He's playing solitaire. 
        C
And keeping to himself, begins to deal
       Am
And still the king of hearts  is well concealed
      Dm                             G
Another losing games  comes to an end
                F      C
And deals them out again

 C                     Am
A little hope  -  goes up in smoke
      G              G7           F    C     G7
Just how it goes,  - goes without saying

      C                  Am
There was a man, -  a lonely man
      G              G7          F       C     G7
Who would command  - the hand he's playing

        C
And solitaire is the only  game in town
      Am
And every road that takes him, takes him down
      Dm                                 G
While life  goes on around him  everywhere
             F      C
