D              D6         Dmaj7
Oh In a little while from now
       F#m7
If I`m not feeling any less sour
  Am                Am7
I promise myself to treat myself
    F#m7b5         B7
And visit a nearby tower
    Em
And climbing to the top
     Gm           Gm7
Will throw myself off
      D              Daug
In an effort to make clear to whom ever
D6                         C#7
What it`s like when you`re shattered
     F#m7
Left standing in the lurch
     F#m7b5              B7
At a church where people saying
   Em
My God that`s tough she stood him up
   Gm            Gm7
No point in us remaining
   Dmaj7
We may as well go home
   F#m7        B7
As I did on my own
 Em7        A7        D
Alone again    naturally
   D6               Dmaj7
To think that only yesterday
      F#m7
I was cheerful bright and gay
        Am                  Am7
Looking forward to well who wouldn`t do
    F#m7b5              B7
The role I was about to play
       Em7
But as if to knock me down
  Gm
Reality came around
        D                Daug
And without so much as a mere touch
        D6         C#7
Cut me into little pieces
F#m7
Leaving me to doubt
     F#m7b5           B7
Talk about God in His mercy
    Em7
Who if He really does exist
Gm           Gm7
Why did He desert me
Dmaj7         D6
In my hour of need
  F#m7       B7
I truly am indeed
  Em7       A7        D
Alone again    naturally
   F
It seems to me that there are more hearts
C                                 Gm
Broken in the world that can`t be mended
A7      F       Bm7b5
Left unattended
           Amaj7
What do we do
           Em  A
What do we do....

 Em7        A7         D
Alone again     naturally
    D6                    Dmaj7
Now looking back over the years
    F#m                F#m7
And whatever else that appears
  Am                       Am7
I remember I cried when my father died
      F#m7b5              B7
Never wishing to hide the tears
       Em7
And at sixty-five years old
   Gm                  Gm7
My mother God rest her soul
         D                  Daug
Couldn`t understand why the only man
        Bm                  C#7
She had ever loved had been taken
F#m7
Leaving her to start
       F#m7b5         B7
With a heart so badly broken
   Em7
Despite encouragement from me
   Gm              Gm7
No words were ever spoken
    Dmaj7           D6
And when she passed away
  F#m7                B7
I cried and cried all day
 Em7        A7        F#m7  B7
Alone again    naturally
  Em7       A7        D  Gm  D
Alone again    naturally
