Introdução: G7M G6 Bm7 E7 Am7 D7/9- G7M G6
G7M G6
In a little while from now
Bm7
If I'm not feeling any less sour
Dm
I promise myself to treat myself
Bm5-/7 E7
And visit a nearby tower
Am7
And climbing to the top
Am5-/7
To throw myself off
G G5+
In an effort to make It clear to who-ever
G6 F#7
What it's like when you're shattered
Bm7
Left standing in the lurch
Dm E7
At a church with people saying
Am7
"My God, that's tough, she stood him up.
Am5-/7
No point in us remaining
G7M G6
We may as well go home".
Bm7 E7
As I did on my own.
Am7 D7/9- G7M G6
Alone again, naturally
G7M G6
To think that only yesterday
Bm7
I was cheerful bright and gay
Dm
Looking forward who wouldn't do
Bm5-/7 E7
The role I was about to play
Am7
And as if to knock me down
Am5-/7
Reality came around
G G5+
And without so much as a mere touch
G6 F#7
Threw me into little pieces
Bm7
Leaving me to doubt
Dm E7
Talk about God in his mercy
Am7
Who if He really does exist
Am5-/7
Why did He desert me
G7M G6
In my hour of need.
Bm7 E7
I truly am indeed
Am7 D7/9-
Alone again, naturally
Bridge
Bb F7
It seems to me that there are more hearts broken in the world
Am5-/7 D7/9- Bb Em5-/7
Than can be mended. Left unattended
D7M Am7 D7/9-
What do we do, what do we do
Solo: G7M G6 Bm7 Dm Bm5-/7 E7 Am7 Am5-/7 G G5+ G6 F#7 Bm7 Dm E7 Am7
Am5-/7 G7M G6 Bm7 E7 Am7 D7/9- G7M G6
G7M G6
Looking back over the years
Bm7
And whatever else appears
Dm Bm5-/7
I remember I cried when my father died
E7
Never wishing to hide my tears
Am7
And at sixty-five years old
Am5-/7
My mother, God rest her soul
G G5+
Couldn't understand why the only man.
G6 F#7
She had ever loved had been taken
Bm7
Leaving her to start.
Dm E7
With a heart so badly broken, despite encouragement from me
Am7
No words were ever spoken.
Am5-/7
When she passed away, I cried and cried all day
Am7 D7/9- Bm7 E7
Alone again naturally.
Am7 D7/9- D7 G
Alone again naturally
