In a little while from now,
G6
If I'm
Bm7
not feeling any less sour
Dm
I promised myself to
Dm7
treat myself
Bm7♭5
And visit a nearby
E7
tower,
And
Am7
climbing to the top,
Will
Am7♭5
throw myself off
In an
G
effort to make it
Gaug
clear to who
Ever
G6
what it's like when your
F♯7
shattered
Left
Bm7
standing in the lurch, at a
Bm7♭5
church
Where people 're
E7
saying,
"My
Am7
God that's tough, she stood him up!
No
Am7♭5
point in us
C/D
remaining.
GM7
May as well go home."
G6
As
Bm7
I did on my
E7/G♯
own,
Am7
Alone again
D7(♭9)
, natura
GM7
lly
G6
To
GM7
think that only yesterday,
G6
I was
Bm7
cheerful, bright and gay,
Looking
Dm
forward to, but
Dm7
who wouldn't do,
The
Bm7♭5
role I was about to
E7
play
But as
Am7
if to knock me down,
Am7♭5
Reality came around
And
G
without so much as a
Gaug
mere touch,
Cut me
G6
into little
F♯7
pieces
Bm7
Leaving me to doubt,
All
Bm7♭5
about God and His
E7
mercy
For
Am7
if He really does exist
Am7♭5
Why did He
C/D
desert me
GM7
In my hour of need?
G6
I
Bm7
truly am
E7/G♯
indeed,
Am7
Alone again,
D7(♭9)
naturally
GM7
G6
It
B♭
seems to me that
There are more hearts
F7
Broken in the world
That can't be
Am7♭5
mended
D7(♭9)
Left
B♭M7
unattended
Edim
What do we
DM7
do? What do we
Am7♭5
do?
D7(♭9)

G6
Now
GM7
looking back over the years,
G6
And what
Bm7
ever else that appears
I
Dm
remember I cried when my father died
Never
Bm7♭5
wishing to have cried
E7
the tears
And at
Am7
sixty-five years old,
My
Am7♭5
mother, God rest her soul,
Couldn't
G
understand, why the
Gaug
only man
She had
G6
ever loved had been
F♯
taken
Bm7
Leaving her to start with a
Bm7♭5
heart
So badly
E7
broken
Des
Am7
pite encouragement from me
No
Am7♭5
words were ever
C/D
spoken
And
GM7
when she passed away
G6
I
Bm7
cried and cried all
E7/G♯
day
Am7
Alone again,
D7(♭9)
naturally
Bm7
