Gbmaj7 Gb6
In a little while from now
Bbm7
If I'm not feeling any less sour
Dbm
I promise myself to treat myself
Bbm7/5- Eb7
And visit a nearby tower
Abm7
And climbing to the top
Abm7/5-
To throw myself off
Gb Gb5+
In an effort to make it clear to who-
Gb6 F7
ever what it's like when you're shattered
Bbm7
Left standing in the lurch
Dbm Eb7
At a church where people saying
Abm7
"My God, that's tough, she stood him up
Abm7/5-
No point in us remaining
Gbmaj7 Gb6
We may as well go home"
Bbm7 Eb7
As I did on my own
Abm7 Db7/9- Gbmaj7 Gb6
Alone again, naturally
Verse 2:
To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful bright and gay
Looking forward to who wouldn't do?
The role I was about to play
And as if to knock me down
Reality came around
And without so much as a mere touch
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about God in his mercy
Who if He really does exist
Why did He desert me
In my hour of need
I truly am indeed
Abm7 Db7/9- Gb
Alone again, naturally
Ponte:
A E7
It seems to me that there are more hearts broken in the world
Abm7/5- Db7/9-
That can't be mended
A Ebm7/5-
Left unattended
Dbmaj7
What do we do?
Abm7 Db7/9-
What do we do?

Verse 3:
Looking back over the years
And whatever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide my tears
And at sixty-five years old
My mother, God rest her soul
Couldn't understand why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start
With a heart so badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
When she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Coda:
Abm7 Db7/9- Bbm7 Eb7
Alone again naturally
Abm7 Db7/9- Db7 Gb
Alone again... naturally
