[C]
There was [D] a lonely [Am]
[G] man who lost his love [F] to his indeed.
[C]
A heart that cared,
[D] that went unshared until [G] [F] it died [G] within [C] his silence.
[G]
[C] And solitaire is the only game in town.
[G] [Am] In heaven take him down.
[Em] [Dm] Those all around him [G] everywhere [F] he'd play [C] solitaire.
And he made to himself, big and still.
[G] [Am] Still the king of hearts was well concealed.
[Em] [Dm] Another losing game [G] comes to an end.
And [F] he's in [C] love again.
A little hope,
[D] nothing small.
Just [Am]
[G] how it goes, those [C] with a say.
There was a man,
[D] a lonely man,
[G] who would [C] command [G]
[F] the hand [C] he's playing.
And [G]
[C] solitaire is the only game in town.
[G]
[Am] In heaven take him down.
[Em]
[Dm] [G] Everywhere he's [F] playing [C] solitaire.
And he made to himself, big and still.
[G] And [Am] still the king of hearts is well concealed.
[Em] [Dm] Another losing game [G] comes to an end.
[F] And he's in love [C] again.
[G] [C] And solitaire is the only game in town.
[G] [Am] In heaven take him down.
[Dm] Life goes on around [G] him everywhere he's [E] playing [C] solitaire.
