SOLITAIRE
 by Carpenters

[INTRO]
E Emaj9 Emaj7
E Emaj9 Emaj7

[VERSE]
E            Emaj7
 There was a man, 
F#9
a lonely man,
Bsus         B7
Who lost his love 
              Esus E
through his indif--ference.
E             Emaj7
 A heart that cared, 
     F#9
that went unchecked,
Bsus     B7
Until it died within 
    Esus E    Bsus B7
his si---lence.

[CHORUS]
    E           
And Solitaire's
    Emaj7
the only game in town
    C#m
And every road that takes him,
C#m7
takes him down.
    F#m
And by himself,
             Bsus   B7
it's easy to pretend
            Esus  E   B7
He'll never love again.
    E
And keeping to himself 
   Emaj7
he plays the game
C#m
Without her love it always
C#m7
ends the same.
      F#m
While life goes on 
                Bsus  B7
around him everywhere
             Esus E
He's playing Soli-taire.

[VERSE]
E         Emaj7
 A little hope 
F#
  goes up in smoke.
     Bsus   B7
Just how it goes, 
             Esus E    B7
goes without sa---ying.
E           Emaj7
There was a man, 
F#9
a lonely man
Bsus         B7               
Who would command 
              Esus E7  Bsus B7
the hand he's pla--ying

[DOUBLE CHORUS]
    E           
And Solitaire's
    Emaj7
the only game in town
    C#m
And every road that takes him,
C#m7
takes him down.
    F#m
And by himself,
             Bsus   B7
it's easy to pretend
            Esus  E   B7
He'll never love again.
    E
And keeping to himself 
   Emaj7
he plays the game
C#m
Without her love it always
C#m7
ends the same.
      F#m
While life goes on 
                Bsus  B7
around him everywhere
             Esus E      B7
He's playing Soli-taire.
    E           
And Solitaire's
    Emaj7
the only game in town
    C#m
And every road that takes him,
C#m7
takes him down.
    F#m
And by himself,
             Bsus   B7
it's easy to pretend
            Esus  E   B7
He'll never love again.
    E
And keeping to himself 
   Emaj7
he plays the game
C#m
Without her love it always
C#m7
ends the same.
      F#m
While life goes on 
                Bsus  B7
around him everywhere
             Esus E 
He's playing Soli-taire.
