[Bbm]
[Abm] [Db] [Gb]
In a little while from now, [Bbm] I'm not feeling any less sour,
[Dbm] I promised myself to treat [Bb] myself and visit a [Eb] nearby tower,
[Abm] And climbing to the top, [Ab] I'll throw myself off,
[Gb] In an effort to make little of what it's like [F] when you're shattered,
[Bbm] Left standing in the lurch [Dbm] at a church where [Eb] people [Abm] sing,
My God, that's enough, she stood him up, [Ab] no point in us remaining,
[Gb] To me he's well gone, [Bbm] as I did [Eb] on my own, [Abm] alone [Db] again,
[Gb] Naturally, to think that only yesterday, [Bbm] I was cheerful, bright and gay,
[Dbm] Looking forward to what wouldn't do, [Bb] the role I was about [Eb] to play,
[Abm] But as if to knock me down, [Ab] reality came around,
[Gb] And without so much as a mere touch, it cut me into [F] little pieces,
[Bbm] Leaving me to doubt, [Dbm] talk about God in [Eb] his mercy,
[Abm] Oh, if he really does exist, [Ab] why did he deserve [Gb] in my hour of need,
[Bbm] Truly I'm [Eb]
indeed [Abm] alone again, [Db] [Gb] naturally,
[A] It seems to me that there are more [E] hearts broken in the world,
That can't [Ab] be mended, [Db] left [A] unattended,
What do [Db] we do, what do [Abm] we do, [Db]

[Abm] [Ab]
[Gb] [Bbm] [Eb]
[Abm] alone [Db] again, [Gb] naturally,
Looking back over the years, [Bbm] whatever else that had been,
I [Dbm] remember I cried when my father [Bb] died, never wishing to cry the tears,
[Abm] And at sixty-five years old, my [Ab] mother, God rest her soul,
[Gb] Couldn't understand why the only man she had ever [F] loved had been [Bbm] taken,
Leaving her to start [Dbm] with a heart so [Eb] badly [Abm] broken,
Despite encouragement from [Ab] me, no word were ever spoken,
[Gb] When she passed away, [Bbm] I've been crying all day, [Abm] alone [Db] again,
[Bbm] Naturally, [Eb]
[Abm] alone again, [Db] naturally.
