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