SOLITAIRE    (intro)    (midi)

 

    D                               - Bm                 

1.     There was a man,         a lonely man, 

A                                                    G   D

    who lost his love through his indifference.

                                 - Bm

     A heart that kept,         that went unchecked, 

A                                    G D     - A

    until it died within his silence.

          D

And Solitaire's the only game in town, 

       Bm

and every road that takes him takes him down,

      Em                                     A                        G        D    - A

and by himself, it's easy to pretend, he'll never love again.

          D

And keeping to himself he plays the game,

      Bm                                          

without her love it always ends the same,

        Em                                               A                            G  D    - A

while life goes on around him everywhere,  he's playing Solitaire.

   D                     - Bm

2.    A little hope         goes up in smoke, 

A                                                   G D    - A

    just how it goes, goes without saying.

D                              - Bm

    There was a man,         a lonely man, 

A                                                             G  D  - A

    who would command the hand he's playing.    + CHORUS

             D

    And Solitaire's the only game in town, 

            Bm

    and every road that takes him takes him down,

             Em                                               A                          G  D    

    while life goes on around him everywhere, he's playing Solitaire.

    - Bm – G – A – G - D
