[Eb]
There was a man, [Cm] a lonely man, [Bb] who lost his love through [Eb] his indifference.
A heart that cared, [Cm] that went [Bb] unshared, until it died [Eb] within his [Bb] silence.
[Eb] And solitaire's the only game in town, [Gm] [Cm] and every road that takes him, takes him down.
While [Fm] life goes on around him [Bb] everywhere, [Eb] he's [Ab] playing [Eb] solitaire.
And keeping to himself, begins to deal, [Bb] [Cm] and still the king of hearts is well concealed.
[Fm] Another losing game [Bb] comes to an end, [Ab] and he deals them [Eb] out again.
A little hope, [F] goes up and slow, [Bb] just how it goes, [Ab] goes without [Eb] saying.
There was a man, [F] a lonely [Bb] man, who would command the [Eb] hand he's playing.
[Bb] [Eb] And solitaire's the only game in town, [Cm] and every road that takes him, takes him down.
[Fm] While life goes on around him [Bb] everywhere, [Ab] he's playing [Eb] solitaire.
And keeping to himself, begins to deal, [Bb] [Cm] and still the king of hearts is well concealed.
[Fm] Another losing game comes [Bb] to an end, and [Eb] he deals them out [Bb] again.
And [Eb] solitaire's the only game in town, [Cm] and every road that takes him, takes him down.
[Fm] While life goes on around him [Bb] everywhere, he's playing
[Eb] solitaire.
