[Verse]
Gb                        
In a little while from now
       Bbm                      
If I'm not feeling any less sour
  Dbm7                          
I promise myself to treat myself
                   Eb7  
And visit a nearby tower
    Abm7               
And climbing to the top
     Abm7            
Will throw myself off
      Gb       
In an effort to
        Gb              
Make it clear to whoever
                           F7       
What it's like when you're shattered
Bbm                             Dbm   
Left standing in the lurch at a church
             Eb7       Abm             
Where people saying My God that's tough
Abm7            
She stood him up
   Abm7                 
No point in us remaining
   Gbmaj7      Gb     
We may as well go home
   Bbm         Eb7
As I did on my own
Abm7        Db7 Gb       
Alone again ■   naturally


[Chorus]
   Gb                       
To think that only yesterday
      Bbm                 Bbm7
I was cheerful bright and gay 
Dbm7                                  
Looking forward to but who wouldn't do
                        Eb7 
The role I was about to play
    Abm7                  
But as if to knock me down
Abm7               
Reality came around
Gb                                 
And without so much as a mere touch
                   F7    
Cut me into little pieces
Bbm                
Leaving me to doubt
Db         Bbm         Eb7  
Talk about God and His mercy
   Abm7                   
Oh if He really does exist
Abm7                
Why did He desert me
Gbmaj7            
In my hour of need
  Bbm7     Eb7   
I truly am indeed
Abm7        Gb       
Alone again naturally
A                  
It seems to me that
                      E                  
There are more hearts broken in the world
              Abm7  
That can't be mended
Db7  A         
Left unattended
           Dbmaj7
What do we do    
           Abm7
What do we do

Abm7        Db7 Gb       
Alone again ■   naturally
    Gb                         
Now looking back over the years
    Bbm                       
And whatever else that appears
Dbm7                                  
I remember I cried when my father died
                          Eb7  
Never wishing to hide the tears
       Abm7               
And at sixtyfive years old
   Abm7                    
My mother God rest her soul
Gb                                  
Couldn't understand why the only man
                            F7   
She had ever loved had been taken
Bbm                 
Leaving her to start
       Dbm            Eb7   
With a heart so badly broken
Abm     Abm7                 
Despite encouragement from me
   Abm7                  
No words were ever spoken
    Gbmaj7              
And when she passed away
  Bbm7                Eb7
I cried and cried all day
Abm7        Db7 Bbm7      Eb7
Alone again ■   naturally ■  
Abm7  Db7   Gb       
Alone again naturally
