[A] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ [E] _ _
[A] In a little while from [F#m] now, _ [C#m] if I'm not feeling any less sour, _
[Em] I promise _ myself to treat myself [C#m] and visit a [F#] nearby tower, _
[Bm] And climb into the tower to [B] throw _ myself off, _
[A] In an effort to make it clear to whoever what it's like [D#m] when you're [G#] shattered,
[C#m] Left standing in the lurch _ [C#] at a church with [F#] people saying,
[Bm] My God that's tough, she stood him up, [B] no point in us _ _ remaining,
[A] We may as well [F#m] go home, _
[C#m] as I did on [F#] my own, _
[Bm] alone again,
_ _ [F] _
[A] Naturally, _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [E] _
[A] to think that only yesterday, _ _ [C#m] I was cheerful, bright and gay, _
[Em] Looking forward to who wouldn't do [C#m] the role I was about [F#] to play, _
[Bm] It is as if to knock me down, _ _
[B] reality _ came around, _
[A] And without so much as a mere touch, [F#m] threw me into [D#m] little _ [G#] pieces,
[C#m] _ Leaving me to doubt, _ talk about God in [F#] His _ mercy,
[Bm] Though if He really does exist, [B] why did He desert me,
[A] In my hour [F#m] of need, _ [C#m] I truly am [F#] indeed, _ _
[Bm] alone again,
[E] _ _ _
[A] Naturally, _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] seems to me that there are more [G] hearts broken in the world,
Than can [B] be mended, _ [E] _ left _
[C] _ unattended,
_ [F#] _ What do [E] we do, _ _ _ what do [Bm] we do, _ _ [F#m] _ _ [E] _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _

[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [E] _ _
[A] looking back over the [F#m] years, _
[C#m] And whatever else appears, I [Em] remember I cried when my father died,
[C#m] Never wishing to hide [F#] my tears, _ [Bm] that at sixty-six years old, _ _
My [B] mother got rest her soul, _ [A] couldn't understand,
_ Why the only man [F#m] she had ever loved had [D#m] been [G#] taken, _
[C#m] Leaving her to start, _ with a heart so badly [F#] _ broken, _
[Bm] Despite _ encouragement from me, no [B] words were ever spoken, _ _ _
[A] When she passed [F#m] away, _ _ [C#m]
I cried and cried [F#] all day, _ _
[Bm] Alone again, [E] _ _ _
[C#m] naturally, _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
[Bm] alone again, [E] _ _ [D] _ _
naturally.
