[Intro]
F Am7 Gm C#dim F
[Verse 1]
F Am7
In a little while from now if I'm not feeling any less sour
Cm D7sus4 D7
I promise myself to treat myself and visit a nearby tower
Gm Bbm6
And climbing to the top will throw myself off
F Faug
In an effort to make it clear to who
Dm E7
ever what it's like when you're shattered
Am7 Cm D7
Left standing in the lurch at a church where people saying
Gm
My God that's tough she stood him up
Bbm6 F Dm
No point in us remaining we may as well go home
Am7 D
As I did on my own
Gm C#dim F
Alone again naturally
[Verse 2]
Am7
To think that only yesterday I was cheerful bright and gay
Cm D7sus4 D7
Looking forward to who wouldn't do the role I was about to play
Gm Bbm6
But as if to knock me down reality came around
F Faug Dm E7
And without so much as a mere touch cut me into little pieces
Am7 Cm D7
Leaving me to doubt talk about God in His mercy
Gm Bbm6
Oh if he really does exist why did he desert me
F Dm Am7 D
In my hour of need I truly am indeed
Gm C#dim F
Alone again naturally
[Bridge]
G#
It seems to me that there are more hearts
Eb Bbm6 C#dim
Broken in the world that can't be mended
Fm
Left unattended
C
What do we do
Gm C
What do we do
[Instrumental solo]
(Play verse chords)
Gm C#dim F
Alone again naturally
[Verse 3]
Am7
Looking back over the years and whatever else that appears
Cm
I remember I cried when my father died
D7sus4 D7
Never wishing to hide the tears
Gm Bbm6
And at sixty-five years old my mother God rest her soul
F Faug
Couldn't understand why the only man
Dm E7
She had ever-loved had been taken
Am7 Cm D7
Leaving her to start with a heart so badly broken
Gm Bbm6
Despite encouragement from me no words were ever spoken
F Dm Am7 D
And when she passed away I cried and cried all day
Gm C#dim F D7
Alone again naturally
Gm C#dim F
slowing Alone again naturally
