Tom:
A D
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
[Refrão]
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
[Próxima Parte]
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
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
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
[Refrão] (repetir)
