_ _ _ _ _ There _ _ _ was a _ _ _ _ _ man, _ [C#m] _ a love _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ who _ lost his _ _ love [B] through [A] his _ _ _ [E] _
indifferent _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C#m] _ heart.
He [E] fought the _ _ _ _ [C#m] kid _ [C#] _
that _ one _ _ _ _ _ [A#] shared _ [B] _ _
until _ _ _ _ it _ died _ _ within [A] his _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [B] silence.
_ _ [A] _ [B] And _ [E] _ _
_ solitaire's the only game in town.
_ _ [B] _ _ [C#m] And every move [C#] that takes him, takes him down.
_ _ _ [F#m] And by himself it's easy to [B] _
pretend _ _ _ he'll [A] never love _ [E] _ again.
[B] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ [B] _ [E] And keeping to _ himself he plays the _ _ [B] game.
[C#m] It always _ _ [C#] _ _ _ ends the _ _ same.
[F#m] While life goes on around him [B] everywhere, _ _ _ _ _ he's [A] playing _ _ [E] _ _ solitaire.
[B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
A _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ little _ _ _ [F#] _ _ hope _
_ _ [C#m] goes _ up _ in _ _ smoke.
[F#] _ [B] _
_ _ _ Just how it _ _ goes, goes _ [A]
without _ [E] saying. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
[E] There _ _ [C#m] _ was _
[E] _ a _ _ _ _ man, [F#] _ _ _ a love _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G#m] _
_ [B] _ _ _ who _ _ would _ _ command the hand [A] he's _ _ _ [C#m] playing. _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] And _ solitaire's the only _ game in town.
