■     ■   ■    ■   ■     ■   ■    ■  
Amaj7                  A  
In a little while from now
       C#m7                     
If I'm not feeling any less sour
  Em7                           
I promise myself to treat myself
    C#m7           F#7  
And visit a nearby tower
    Bm7                
And climbing to the top
   Bm7             
To throw myself off
      A        
In an effort to
        A               
Make it clear to whoever
A                           
Wants to know what it's like
            G#7      
When you're shattered
C#m7                                  
Left standing in the lurch at a church
            F#7       Bm7             
Were people saying my God that's tough
    Bm7         
She stood him up
   Bm7                  
No point in us remaining
Amaj7                 
We may as well go home
C#m7           F#7
As I did on my own
Bm7         E7 Amaj7     Bm7
Alone again ■  naturally ■  
Amaj7                       
To think that only yesterday
      C#m7                   
I was cheerful bright and gay
Em7                               
Looking forward to who wouldn't do
    C#m7                F#7 
The role I was about to play
Bm7                       
But as if to knock me down
Bm7                
Reality came around
A                                  
And without so much as a mere touch
      A                    
Threw me into little pieces
C#m7               
Leaving me to doubt
                      F#7  
Talk about God in His mercy
   Bm7                    
Oh if he really does exist
Bm7                 
Why did he desert me
Amaj7         A   
In my hour of need
C#m7       F#7   
I truly am indeed
Bm7         E7 Amaj7    
Alone again ■  naturally
C                                     
Seems to me that there are more hearts
G      Bm                               
Broken in the world that can't be mended
     C         
Left unattended
           Emaj7
What do we do   
           B7
What do we do


[Solo]

■   ■  ■     ■    ■   ■    ■   ■

■  ■   ■  ■   ■    ■   ■   ■

■ ■    ■   ■   ■  ■ ■     ■  


[Verse]
Amaj7                      
Looking back over the years
C#m7                     
And whatever else appears
  Em7                                 
I remember I cried when my father died
C#m7                     F#7  
Never wishing to hide my tears
       Bm7               
And at sixtysix years old
   Bm7                     
My mother God rest her soul
A                                   
Couldn't understand why the only man
                            D#m7 
She had ever loved had been taken
C#m7                
Leaving her to start


[Chorus]
                      F#7   
With a heart so badly broken
Bm7                          
Despite encouragement from me
   Bm7                   
No words were ever spoken
Amaj7                   
And when she passed away
  C#m7                F#7
I cried and cried all day
Bm7         E7 C#m7      F#7
Alone again ■  naturally ■  
Bm7         E7 A        
Alone again ■  naturally
