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

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

And

A lit

goes up in smoke.

Just how
