in his (G)si

And (D)sol i taire’s the on ly game in town.

And (Bm7)ev ’ry road that takes him, takes him down.

And (Em)by him self it’s eas y to pre (A)tend

he’ll nev er (G)love

a (D)gain.

And, (D)keep ing to him self he plays the game.

With (Bm7)out her love it al ways ends

the same.

While (G)life goes on a round him ev ’ry where

he’s play ing (G)sol

An oth

er day,

a lone

So much to say

that goes (Dsus)un spok

And through the night,

his sleep

less nights,

his eyes

are closed.

His heart is (Dsus)brok

en.

And

A lit

goes up in smoke.

Just how
