[Gb] [Bbm] [Abm] [Db] [Gb]
[Gb]In a little while from now,
If I'm [Bbm]not feeling any less sour,
I [Dbm]promise myself to treat myself
and [Bbm7(b5)]visit a nearby [Eb7]tower
And [Abm7]climbing to the top
Will [Abm7(b5)]throw myself off
In an [Gb]effort to
Make it [Gbaug]clear to who-
Ever [Ebm]what it's like when you're [F7]shattered,
Left [Bbm]standing in the lurch
At a [Bbm7(b5)]church
Where people [Eb7]saying My [Abm]God
[Abm]That's tough,she's stood him up,
No [Abm7(b5)]point in us remaining
we [GbM7]may as well go home'
As I[Bbm7] did on my [Db]own:
[Abm7]Alone again,[Db7] [Gb]Naturally
[Gb]To think that only yesterday,
I was [Bbm7]cheerful bright and gay;
Looking [Dbm7]forward to,
well who wouldn't do [Bbm7(b5)]the role
I was about to [Eb7]play:
But as [Abm7]if to knock me down,
[Abm7(b5)]Reality came around:
And [Gb]without so much,
As a [Gbaug]mere touch
Cut me [Ebm]into little [F7]pieces:
[Bbm]Leaving me to doubt
Talk [Bbm7(b5)]about
God in his [Eb7]mercy, who if[Abm]
[Abm]He really does exist
[Abm7(b5)]Why did he desert me [GbM7]in my hour of need
I [Bbm7]truly am [Db]indeed
[Abm7]Alone [Db7]again, [Gb]Naturally
It [A]seems to me that there are
more hearts [E7]broken in the world
That can't be [Abm7]mended [Db7]Left [A]unattended:
[Ebm7(b5)]What do we [DbM7]do?
What do we [Abm7]do?[Db7]
[Gb] [Gb6] [Bbm7] [Dbm7] [Bbm7(b5)] [Eb7]
[Abm7] [Abm7(b5)] [Gb] [Gbaug] [Ebm] [F7]
[Bbm] [Bbm7(b5)] [Eb7] [Abm] [Abm7(b5)]
[GbM7] [Gb6] [Bbm7] [Db/Eb]
Al[Abm7]one [Db7]again, [Gb]Naturally
Now [GbM7]looking back over the [Gb6]years,
And wh[Bbm7]atever else that appears;
I [Dbm7]remember I cried,
[Dbm7]when my father died,
never [Bbm7(b5)]wishing to hide the [Eb7]tears:
And at [Abm7]sixty five years old,
My [Abm7(b5)]mother God rest her soul,
Couldn't [Gb]understand why
The [Gbaug]only man
She had [Ebm]ever loved had been [F7]taken:
[Bbm]Leaving her to start
With a [Bbm7(b5)]heart
So badly [Eb7]broken,
[Abm]Despite encouragement from me
No [Abm7(b5)]words were ever spoken
and [GbM7]when' she passed [Gb6]away
I [Bbm7]cried and cried all [Db/Eb]day;
[Abm7]Alone again,[Db7] [Bbm7]Naturally[Db/Eb]
[Abm7]Alone again, [Bm/Db] [Db7]Naturally[Gb]
