Introdução: A7M Bm4/7 A7M Bm4/7 A7M Bm4/7 A7M Bm4/7 E7
A7M A6 C#m7
In a little while from now. If I'm not feeling any less sour
Em C#m5-/7 F#7
I promise myself to treat myself. And visit a nearby tower
Bm7 Bm5-/7
And climbing to the top. To throw myself off
A A5 A6 G#7
In an effort to make it clear to who-ever what it's like when you're shattered
C#m7 Em F#7
Left standing in the lurch. At a church with people saying
Bm7 Bm5-/7
"My God, that's tough, she stood him up. No point in us remaining
A7M A6 C#m7 F#7 Bm7 E7/9- A7M A6
We may as well go home". As I did on my own. Alone again, naturally
A7M A6 C#m7
To think that only yesterday. I was cheerful bright and gay
Em C#m5-/7 F#7
Looking forward who wouldn't do? The role I was about to play
Bm7 Bm5-/7
And as if to knock me down. Reality came around
A A5 A6 G#7
And without so much as a mere touch. Threw me into little pieces
C#m7 Em F#7
Leaving me to doubt. Talk about God in his mercy
Bm7 Bm5-/7
Who if He really does exist. Why did He desert me
A7M A6 C#m7 F#7 Bm7 E7/9- A
In my hour of need. I truly am indeed. Alone again, naturally
Bridge:
C G7
It seems to me that there are more hearts broken in the world
Bm5-/7 E7/9- C F#m5-/7
Than can be mended. Left unattended
E7M Bm7 E7/9-
What do we do? What do we do?

A7M A6 C#m7
Looking back over the years. And whatever else appears
Em C#m5-/7 F#7
I remember I cried when my father died. Never wishing to hide my tears
Bm7 Bm5-/7
And at sixty-five years old. My mother, God rest her soul
A A5 A6 G#7
Couldn't understand why the only man. She had ever loved had been taken
C#m7 Em F#7
Leaving her to start. With a heart so badly broken. Despite encouragement from me
Bm7 Bm5-/7
No words were ever spoken. When she passed away I cried and cried all day
Bm7 E7/9- C#m7 F#7 Bm7 E7/9- E7 A
Alone again naturally. Alone again naturally
