[Intro]
D
[Verse]
D
There was a man
E9
A lonely man
A7 Dsus D
Who lost his love through his indiff'rence
D
A heart that cared
E9
That went unshared
A7 D
Until it died within
A7sus A7
His silence
[Refrain 1]
D D F#m
And Solitaire's the only game in town
Bm
And every road that takes him,
Bm Bm7
Takes him down
Em7
While life goes on around him
A7(pause)
Everywhere
Dsus D
Just playing solitaire
[Refrain 2]
D D F#m
And keeping to himself,
Bm
Begins to deal
Em7
And still the king of hearts
A7(pause)
Is well-concealed
Dsus D
Anothere losing game comes
D
To an end
Bm
And deals them out again
D
A little hope
E9
Goes up in smoke
A7
Just how it goes,
Dsus D
Goes w/o saying
D
There was a man
E9
A lonely man
A7
Who would command the
D A7sus A7
Hand he's playing.
