Verse 1:
  
Dmaj7                   D6 
In a little while from now, 
       F#m7                 F#7sus4 
If I'm not feeling any less sour 
  Am 
I promised myself to treat myself 
    F#m7b5         B7 
And visit a nearby tower, 
      Em7 
And climbing to the top, 
       Em7b5         Gm6 
Will throw myself off 
      D                 Daug 
In an effort to make it clear to who 
     D6                         C#7 
Ever what it's like when you're shattered 
     F#m                           Am 
Left standing in the lurch, at a church 
                B7b9  B7 
Where people're say___ing, 
    Em 
"My God that's tough, she stood him up! 
    Em7b5           Gm6 
No point in us remaining. 
  Dmaj7           D6 
We may as well go home." 
    F#m  F#m7  B7 
As I did on my own... 
  
  
 
  Em        A7b9     D 
Alone again, naturally 

  
  
Verse 2:
  
    Dmaj7                  D6 
To think that only yesterday, 
      F#m7                 F#7sus4 
I was cheerful, bright and gay, 
         Am 
Looking forward to, but who wouldn't do, 
     F#m7b5               B7 
The role I was about to play 
       Em7 
But as if to knock me down, 
   Em7b5  Gm6     Em7b5 
Rea__lity came around 
      D                  Daug 
And without so much as a mere touch, 
       D6          C#7 
Cut me into little pieces 
F#m 
Leaving me to doubt, 
          Am           B7b9  B7 
Talk about God and His mer___cy 
     Em 
Who if He really does exist 
Em7b5             Gm6 
Why did He desert me 
Dmaj7          D6 
In my hour of need? 
    F#m  F#m7  B7 
I truly am in__deed, 
  
  
 
  Em        A7b9     D 
Alone again, naturally 

  
  
Bridge:
 
    F 
It seems to me that 
  
There are more hearts 
C7              C7/Bb 
broken in the world  
               Em7b5 
that can't be mended 
Bbm 5      F 
 Left unattended 
Bm7b5        Amaj7             A9/E   A7 
 What do we do?___ What do we do?

Verse 3:
  
    Dmaj7                  D6 
Now looking back over the years, 
        F#m7              F#7sus4 
And whatever else that appears 
     Am 
I remember I cried when my father died 
      F#m7b5               B7 
Never wishing to hide the tears 
        Em7 
And at sixty five years old, 
    Em7b5 
My mother, God rest her soul, 
          D                  Daug 
Couldn't understand, why the only man 
        D6                  C#7 
She had ever loved had been taken 
F#m                          Am 
Leaving her to start with a heart 
         B7b9  B7 
So badly bro___ken 
    Em 
Despite encouragement from me 
     Em7b5         Gm6 
No words were ever spoken 
    Dmaj7             D6 
And when she passed away 
    F#m       F#m7    B7 
I cried and cried all day 
  
  
 
  Em       A7b9     D/F#   F#m7   B7 
Alone again, naturally 
  
  Em        A7b9  A7      D 
Alone again,______naturally
