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?

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
