[D]
There was a [E] man, a lonely man, [A] who lost his love [G] through his [D] indifference.
A heart that cared, [E]
that went [A] unshared, until it died [G] within his [D]
silence.
[A] [D] And solitaire's the only game in [F#m] town.
[Bm] Every road that takes him, takes him [F#m] down.
[Em] While life goes on [A] around him everywhere, [G] he's playing [D]
solitaire.
In keeping to himself, begins to [F#m] deal.
[Bm] Still the king of hearts is well [F#m] concealed.
[Em] Another losing [A] game comes to an end, [G] and he deals them [D] out again.
And a little hope [E] goes up in [A] smoke.
How it goes, [G] goes without [D] saying.
There was a man, [E] a lonely [A] man, who would command the [G] hand he's [D]
played.
[A] [D] And solitaire's the only game in town.
[F#m] [Bm] And every road that takes him, takes him [F#m] down.
[Em] While life goes on around [A] him everywhere, [G] he's playing [D]
solitaire.
In keeping to himself, begins to deal.
[F#m] [Bm] Still the king of hearts is well concealed.
[F#m] [Em] Another losing [A] game comes to an end, [G] and he deals them out [D]
[A] again.
[D] And solitaire's the only game in town.
[F#m] [Bm] And every road that takes him, takes him [F#m] down.
[Em] While life goes on around him [Am] everywhere, he's [D] playing solitaire.
[Gm] [D]
[Gm] Playing solitaire.

I love playing the songs at the piano, the way I wrote them.
I feel like I'm in my living room with my friends, and we're all having fun.
Are you having fun?
Great.
