[Verse 1]
      C               D7
There was a man,    a lonely man
    G7                            D7   C
Who lost his love,  through his indifference
  C                        D7
A heart that cared,   that went unshared
  G7                       C       
Until it died,  within his silence

[Pre-Chorus]
G7   C
 And solitaire's the only, game in town.
     Am7                              Am
And  every road that takes him, takes him down
      Dm7                      G
While life goes on around him, everywhere
             F   C
He's playing solitaire. (solitaire)

[Chorus]
C
And keeping to himself, begins to deal
    Am
And still the king of hearts, is well concealed
Dm             Dm7            G      
Another lose-a-game, comes to an end
G7               F    C      G           C
  And deals them out again. (out again)

[Verse 2]
  C                   D7
A little hope,   goes up in smoke
     G7                          C
Just how it goes,   goes without saying
      C              D7
There was a man,   a lonely man
    G             G7              C       G
Who would command,  the hand he's playing 

[Pre-Chorus]
    C
And solitaire's the only, game in town
    Am
And every road that takes him, takes him down
      Dm7                      G
While life goes on around him, everywhere
G            F   C
He's playing solitaire. (solitaire)

[Chorus]
C
And keeping to himself, begins to deal.
    Am
And still the King of Hearts, is well concealed.
Dm             Dm7            G      
Another lose-a-game, comes to an end
G7               F    C      G
  And deals them out again. (out again)

[Coda]
    C
And solitaire's the only, game in town
    Am
And every road that takes him, takes him down
Dm                       G7
Life goes on around him, everywhere

[Outro]
N.C.          C         Fm
He's playin', solitaire
C         Fm    C 
Solitaire 
(very softly whispered)
