[C#m]
There [E] was a man, [C#m]
a love,
[B]
who lost his love through [A] his [E] different
[C#m] heart.
[E] He bought the kid [C#m]
[F#] that one shared [A#]
[B] until it died within [A] his [E] silence.
[B] [A] [B]

[F#m] And by himself it's easy to [B] pretend he'll [A] never [E] love [B] again.

always ends the same.
[F#m] While life goes on around him [B] everywhere he's [A] playing [E]
[B]
[E] Sonataire.
[C#m]
A little [E]
hope [C#m]
goes out in [B] smoke.
Just how it goes, goes [A] without

[B]
who wore the hand [A] he's [C#m] playing.
[E]
[B] [C#] [B] And [E] so the jazz [B] the only [C#m]
game in town.
And every road he takes him takes him down.
