[E]
There was a man
[C#m] A law
[F#]
[C#m]
[B] Who lost his love
Through
[A] his [E] indifferent
A [C#m]
[E] heart that cared
[F#m]
That [F#] one
[A#] [B] shared
Until it died
Within his [A]
[E] silence
[B]
[A] [B] And [E] so all that cares
They only gave in time
[B] [C#m] And every road [C#] that takes him
Takes him down
[F#m] And by himself it's easy to [B]
pretend
He'll [A] never love [E]
[B] again
[A] [B]
[E] And keeping to himself
He plays the [B] game
[C#m] That [C#] always ends the same
[F#m] While life goes on around him
[B] everywhere
He's [A] playing [E] some
[B] game
[E] A [C#m]
little [E]
[F#] hope
[C#m] Goes up in smoke
[B]
Just how it goes
Goes [A] without
[E] saying
[C#m]
[B] [E] There
[C#m] was [E] a man
[F#]
A law
[B]
Who would command
The hand [A] he's [C#m] playing
[E]
[B] [A] [B] As [E] solid as the only game in time
[B]
[C#m] And every road that takes him
Takes him down
[F#m] And by himself it's easy to [B] pretend
He'll [A] never love [E]
[F#m] [B] again
[E] And keeping to himself
He plays the game
[B]
[C#m] That always [C#]
ends the [C#m] [C#] same
[F#m] While life goes on around him
[B] everywhere
He's [A] playing [E] some
[B] game
As [E] solid as the only game in time
[B]
[C#] And every [C#m] [C#] road that takes him
Takes him down
[F#m] While life goes on around him [C#] everywhere
He's [F#m] playing
[E] solitaire
[C#m]
