D#              Fm
There was a man, a lonely man
A#                               D#
Who lost his love through his indifference
D#                 Fm
A heart that cared, that went unshared
A#                        D#    A#sus4 A# A#sus2 A#
Until it died within his silence

Chorus:
     D#                              A#/D
And solitaire's the only game in town
    Cm
And every road that takes him, takes him down
    Fm                         A#
And by himself, it's easy to pretend
            G#/D#  D#  A#sus4 A# A#sus2 A#
He'll never love again.
     D#                                   A#/D
And keeping to himself, he plays the game
    Cm
Without her love it always ends the same
       Fm                         A#
While life goes on around him everywhere
        G#/D#    D#   A#
He's playing solitaire

A little hope goes up in smoke
Just how it goes, goes without saying
There was a man, a lonely man
Who would command the hand he's playing

Chorus

A little hope goes up in smoke
Just how it goes, goes without saying

Chorus:
And Solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
And by himself, it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again
And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere

He's playing Solitaire
