v. 1:
FA#maj7 FA#6
In a little while from now
SIbm7
If I'm not feeling any less sour
DO#m
I promise myself to treat myself
SIbm7-5 MIb7
And visit a nearby tower
SOL#m7
And climbing to the top
SOL#m7-5
To throw myself off
FA# FA#+
In an effort to make it clear to who-
FA#6 FA7
ever what it's like when you're shattered
SIbm7
Left standing in the lurch
DO#m MIb7
At a church with people saying
SOL#m7
"My God, that's tough, she stood him up
SOL#m7-5
No point in us remaining
FA#maj7 FA#6
We may as well go home"
SIbm7 MIb7
As I did on my own
SOL#m7 DO#7-9 FA#maj7 FA#6
Alone again, naturally
v. 2:
To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful bright and gay
Looking forward - 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
SOL#m7 DO#7-9 FA#
Alone again, naturally
bridge:
LA MI7
It seems to me that there are more hearts broken in the world
SOL#m7-5 DO#7-9
Than can be mended
LA MIbm7-5
Left unattended
DO#maj7
What do we do?
SOL#m7 DO#7-9
What do we do?
(nylon-string guitar solo, verse chords)
v. 3:
Looking back over the years
And whatever else appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide my tears
And at sixty-five years old
My mother, God rest her soul
Couldn't understand why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start
With a heart so badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
When she passed away
I cried and cried all day
tag:
SOL#m7 DO#7-9 SIbm7 MIb7
Alone again naturally
SOL#m7 DO#7-9 DO#7 FA#
Alone again... naturally
