Intro: |Cmaj7 C6  |Em7 A7  |Dm7 G7b9  |Cmaj7  C6 
 
|Cmaj7                      C6              |Em7                         E7sus4 
1. In a little while from now, if I'm not feeling any less sour, 
 |Gm                                                  |Em7b5          A7 
I promise myself to treat myself and visit a nearby tower, 
      |Dm7                          |Dm7b5         Fm6 
and climbing to the top to throw myself off, 
        |C                     C+               |C6                                             B7 
in an effort to make it clear to whoever what it's like when you're shattered, 
     |Em7                                |Gm              Gm      A7b9 A7 
left standing in the lurch at a church with people saying: 
       |Dm7                                                       |Dm7b5          Fm6 
"My God, that's tough, she stood him up! No point in us remaining. 
     |Cmaj7             C6              |Em7           A7 
We may as well go home" - as I did on my own. 
  |Dm7   G7b9       |Cmaj7  C6 
Alone again, naturally 
 
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 threw 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 
 |Dm7    G7b9        |C 
Alone again, naturally 
 
   |Eb                                                       |Bb7             Bb7/Ab 
Bridge. It seems to me that there are more hearts broken in the world 
                  |Fm7b5  Bb7   |Fm7b5  Cm7b5 
than can be mended, left unattended 
                   |Gmaj7               |Dm7    G7b9 
What do we do? What do we do? 
|Cmaj7                         C6                   |Em7           E7sus4 
3. Looking back over the years and whatever else appears 
   |Gm                                                             |Em7b5                    A7 
I remember I cried when my father died, never wishing to hide the tears 
        |Dm7                                |Dm7b5                    Fm6 
and at sixty-five years old - My mother, God rest her soul 
           |C                           C+                      |C6                             B7 
couldn't understand why the only man she had ever loved had been taken, 
|Em7                                 |Gm       Gm    A7b9 A7 
leaving her to start with a heart so badly broken. 
    |Dm7                                            |Dm7b5              Fm6 
Despite encouragement from me, no words were ever spoken. 
|Cmaj7                  C6     |Em7                    A7 
When she passed away I cried and cried all day 
   |Dm7     G7b9 |C/E  C/E  Em7 A7 
Alone again naturally 
   |Dm7        G7b9 G7    |C 
Alone again...         naturally 
 
  G7b9 Em7b5 Dm7b5 Fm6 C+ A7b9 Fm7b5 Cm7b5
