Em
G
In a little while from now
Bm
If I'm not feeling any less sour
Bm E7
And visit a nearby tower
Am
And climbing to the top
Cm
To throw myself off
G G
In an effort to make it clear to whoever
G
What it's like when you're
Gb7
Shattered
Bm
Left standing in the lurch
D7 E7
At a church with people saying
Am
"My God, that's tough, she stood him up
Cm
No point in us remaining
G G
We may as well go home"
Bm E7
As I did on my own
Am D7 G
Alone again, naturally
G
To think that only yesterday
D7
Looking forward - who wouldn't do?
Bm E7
The role I was about to play
Am
And as if to knock me down
Cm
Reality came arouGnd
G G
And without so much as a mere touch
G Gb7
Threw me into little pieces
Bm
Leaving me to doubt
D7 E7
Talk about God in his mercy
Am
Who if He really does exist
Cm
Why did He desert me
G
In my hour of need
Bm E7
I truly am indeed
Am D7 G
Alone again, naturally
Bb
It seems to me that there are more hearts
F Cm D7
Broken in the world than can be mended
Bb
Left unattended
D
What do we do?
Am D7
What do we do?
G
Looking back over the years
Bm
And whatever else appears
D7
I remember I cried when my father died
Bm E7
Never wishing to hide my tears
Am
And at sixty-five years old
Cm
My mother, God rest her soul
G G
Couldn't understand why the only man
G Gb7
She had ever loved had been taken
Bm
Leaving her to start
D7 E7
With a heart so badly broken
Am
Despite encouragement from me
Cm
No words were ever spoken
G Bm E7
When she passed away I cried and cried all day
Am D7 G Bm
Alone again, Naturally
Am D7 G
Alone again, Naturally
