1. [D]There was a man [Bm]a lonely man
[A7]Who lost his love through his indiffe-[D]rence
A heart that cared [Bm]that went unshared
[A7]Until it died within his [D]silence [A]
Chorus: And [D]solitare’s the only game in [F#m]town
And [Bm]every road that takes him takes him down
And [Em]by himself it’s easy to pre-[A]tend
He’ll never [D]love again [A]
And [D]keeping to himself he plays the [F#m]game
With-[Bm]out her love it always ends the same
While [Em]life goes on around him every-[A]where
He’s playing [D]solitaire [A7]
2. [D]A little hope [Bm]goes up in smoke
[A7]Just how it goes goes without [D]saying
There was a man [Bm]a lonely man
[A7]Who would command the hand [D]he’s playing [A]
