FM7                     F6
In a little while from now
        Am                    Am7
If I'm not feeling any less sour
    Cm                Cm7
I promised myself to treat myself
     Ebdim7         D7
And visit a nearby tower

     Gm7
And climbing to the top
Bbm/G
Will throw myself off
       FM7                Faug
In an effort to make it clear to who
      F6                         Esus E
Ever what it's like when you're shattered

       Am7                        Cm
Left standing in the lurch, at a church
                  D7
Where people are saying
    Gm7
My God that's tough, she stood him up
    Bbm/G
No point in us remaining
FM7             F6
May as well go home
   Am7          D7
As I did on my own
Gm7         C7       FM7 F6  
Alone again,      naturally


    FM7                  F6
To think that only yesterday
        Am                  Am7
I was cheerful, bright and gay
         Cm                  Cm7
Looking forward to, but who wouldn't do
     Ebdim7             D7
The role I was about to play
        Gm7
But as if to knock me down
   Bbm/G
Reality came around
        FM7               Faug 
And without so much as a mere touch
       F6           Esus E
Cut me into little pieces
Am7         
Leaving me to doubt
      Cm               D7
Talk about God and His mercy
     Gm7
For if He really does exist
Bbm/G
Why did He desert me
FM7            F6
In my hour of need?
   Am7       D7
I truly am indeed
 Gm7       C7       FM7 --
Alone again,     naturally


    G#
It seems to me that
There are more hearts
 D#
Broken in the world
               Gm7  C  
That can't be mended
         G#    D
Left unattended
            CM7           Gm7 C
What do we do? What do we do?

  Gm7      C7        FM7
Alone again       naturally


     FM7                   F6
Now looking back over the years
          Am               Am7
And what ever else that appears
    Cm                      Cm7
I remember I cried when my father died
       Ebdim7              D7
Never wishing to hide the tears

        Gm7
And at sixty five years old
    Bbm/G
My mother, God rest her soul
         FM7                 Faug
Couldn't understand, why the only man
        F6                   Esus E
She had ever loved had been taken
Am7                          Cm
Leaving her to start with a heart
         D7
So badly broken
    Gm7        
Despite encouragement from me
    Bbm/G
No words were ever spoken

     FM7             F6
And when she passed away
   Am7                 D7
I cried and cried all day
  Gm7     Bbm/G        FM7 D7
Alone again,    naturally
  Gm7        C        F
Alone again,    naturally
