[Db] [Gb] Oh, in a little while from now [Bbm] I'm not feeling any less [Dbm] starved.
I promise myself to treat myself and visit a [Eb] nearby tower.
[Abm] Climbing to the top, [Ab] I'll throw myself off.
[Gb] In an effort to make clear to [Ebm] whom, ever what it's like [F] when you're shattered.
[Bbm] Left standing in the lurch [Bb] at a church where [Eb] people are [Abm] saying.
My God, that stuff she stood him [Ab] up.
No point in us remaining, [Gb] we may as well go [Bbm] home.
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.
[Db] Looking [Dbm] forward to, but wouldn't do the role I was [Eb] about to play.
[Abm] But as if to knock me down, [Ab] reality came around.
[Gb] And without so much as a mere touch, cut me into [F] little [Bbm] pieces.
Leaving me to doubt, [Dbm] talk about God [Eb] in His [Abm] mercy.
Oh, if He really does [Ab] exist, why did He desert [Gb] me?.
In my hour of need, [Bbm] I truly [Eb] am indeed [Abm] alone [Db] again.
[Gb] Naturally, [A] it seems to me that there are [E] more hearts broken in the world.
That [Ab] can't be mended, [F] left [A] unattended.

[Eb] [Abm] And at sixty-five years old, [Ab] my mother, God rest her soul.
[Gb] Couldn't understand why the only man she had ever loved had [F] been taken.
[Bbm] Leaving her to start with [Bb] a heart so badly [Eb] broken.
