There was a man 
   Bm
A lonely man 
      A
Who lost his love 
                G     D   A
Through his indifference 
 
   D
A heart that cared
       Bm
That went unshared 
   A
Until it died 
            G    D   A
Within his silence 
 
D
And solitare's the only game in town 
     Bm
And every road that takes him 
         Bm
Takes him down 
   Em                           A
And by himself it's easy to pretend 
             G    D     A
He'll never love again 
 
      D
And keeping to himself he plays the game 
        Bm
Without her love 
                   Bm
It always ends the same 
      Em                              A
While life goes on around him everywhere 
              G      D   A
He's playing solitaire 
 
  D
A little hope 
     Bm
Aoes up in smoke 
  A
Just how it goes 
              G   D   A
Aoes without saying 
 
D
There was a man 
   Bm
A lonely man 
    A
Who would command 
            G      D   A
The hand he's playing 
 
 D
And solitare's the only game in town 
     Bm
And every road that takes him 
         Bm
Takes him down 
   Em                           A
And by himself it's easy to pretend 
             G    D     A
He'll never love again 
 
      D
And keeping to himself he plays the game 
        Bm
Without her love 
                   Bm
It always ends the same 
      Em                              A
While life goes on around him everywhere 
              G      D   A

He'll never love again
