Solitaire Chords by Carpenters

[Start]

[Intro]
E                   F#7    B  
■ There was a man a lonely man


[Verse]
                  B7          E           
Who lost his love through his indifference
                        F#m  F#        F#7 B
A heart that cared that went unchecked ■   ■
                     A       E B
Until it died in his silence ■ ■
B7     E                            B   
■  And solitaire's the only game in town
    C#                                  C#7 
And every road that takes him takes him down
       F#m7                 B      
And by himself it's easy to pretend
            A    E     B
He'll never love again ■


[Chorus]
    E                               B   
And keeping to himself he plays the game
C#                                  C#7 
Without her love it always ends the same


[Verse]
           F#m                F#m7       B
While life goes on around him everywhere ■
             A         E B E
He's playing solitaire ■ ■ ■
              C#   F#    F#sus4 B
A little hope goes up in smoke  ■
                      A       E     
Just how it goes goes without saying
                  F#7    F# F#7 B
There was a man a lonely ■  man ■
                                A       B B7
Who would command the hand he's playing ■ ■ 
    E                               
And solitare's the only game in town
C#                                          
And every road that takes him takes him down
F#m    F#m7                 B      
And by himself it's easy to pretend
      E          B    
He'll never love again


[Chorus]
    E                                   
And keeping to himself he plays the game
C#                                      
Without her love it always ends the same
F#m7                          B         
While life goes on around him everywhere
     A       E         B B7 B
He's playing solitaire ■ ■  ■
    E                               
And solitare's the only game in town
    C#                                      
And every road that takes him takes him down
      F#m          F#m7       Bsus4     
While life goes on around him everywhere
             E        
He's playing solitaire
