G#m7
In a little while from now,
As I did on my own,
C#7
F#m7 B7
G#m7
E
Alone again, naturally
If I'm not feeling any less sour Bm I promised myself to treat myself G#m7
E To think that only yesterday,
C#7
G#m7
And visit a nearby tower,
I was cheerful, bright and gay,
F#m7
Bm
And climbing to the top, Am
Looking forward to, but who wouldn't do,
Will throw myself off
G#m7
C#7
The role I was about to play
E
F#m7
In an effort to G+
But as if to knock me down,
make it clear to who
Am
E7
Eb7
Reality came around
Ever what it's like when your shattered
E
G#m7
And without so much as a mere touch,
Bm
G+
Left standing in the lurch, at a church C#7 Where people 're saying, F#m "My God that's tough, she stood him up!
E7
Eb7
Cut me into little pieces G#m7 Leaving me to doubt,
Bm
Bm
C#7
I remember I cried when my father died
All about God and His mercy
G#m7
F#m
C#7
For if He really does exist
Never wishing to have cried the tears
Am
F#m7
Why did He desert me
And at sixty-five years old,
E
Am
In my hour of need?
My mother, God rest her soul,
G#m7
E
C#7
G+
I truly am indeed,
Couldn't understand, why the only man
F#m7 B7
E7
E
Eb7
Alone again, naturally
She had ever loved had been taken
G
G#m7
It seems to me that
Leaving her to start with a heart
Bm
C#7 There are more hearts
So badly broken
D
F#m7
Broken in the world
Despite encouragement from me
Am
B7
Am No words were ever spoken
That can't be mended
E
G
And when she passed away
Left unattended B
F#m7 B7
G#m7
C#7
What do we do? What do we do?
I cried and cried all day
E
F#m7 B7 G#m7 C#7
Now looking back over the years,
Alone again, naturally
G#m7
F#m7 B7
And what ever else that appears
Alone again, naturally
E
