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
