There was a man,  a lonely man, who lost his love,  through his indifference 
                    C#m6                 B                        E       A/B
A heart that cared,    that went unshared, until it died, within his silence 
E                               Abm/Eb
And solitaire's the only game in town 
C#m
And every road that takes him takes him down 
F#m                           A/B                         E  A/B
And by himself it's easy to pretend,  he'll never love again 
E               Abm/Eb
And keeping to himself he plays the game 
C#m
Without her love it always ends the same 
F#m                A/B                                     E    A/B
While life goes on around him everywhere, he's playing solitaire

A little hope, goes up in smoke, just how it goes, goes without saying 
E               C#m6                   B                          E        A/B
There was a man,     a lonely man, who would command, the hand he's playing 
E                                 Abm/Eb
And solitaire's the only game in town
