Intro: - C Em7 Dm7 C -
Verse: 1
C
In a little while from now,
Em7
If I'm not feeling any less sour
Gm
I promised myself to treat myself
E7 A7
And visit a nearby tower,
Dm7
And climbing to the top,
Fm
Will throw myself off
C D
In an effort to make it clear to who
C6 B7
Ever what it's like when your shattered
Em7 Gm
Left standing in the lurch, at a church
A7
Where people 're saying,
Dm
"My God that's tough, she stood him up!
Fm
No point in us remaining.
C Cmaj7
We may as well Go home."
Em7 A7
As I did on my own,
Dm G7 C
Alone again, naturally
Verse: 2
C
To think that only yesterday,
Em7
I was cheerful, bright and gay,
Gm
Looking forward to, but who wouldn't do,
E7 A7
The role I was about to play
Dm7
But as if to knock me down,
Fm
Reality came around
C D
And without so much as a mere touch,
C6 B7
Cut me into little pieces
Em7
Leaving me to doubt,
Gm A7
Talk about God and His mercy
Dm
Who if He really does exist
Fm
Why did He desert me
C Cmaj7
In my hour of need?
Em A7
I truly 'am indeed,
Dm G7 Cmaj7
Alone again, naturally
Bridge:
D#
It seems to me that there are more hearts
Bb Fm G7
broken in the world that can't be mended
D#
Left unattended
Dm7 G7
What Do we do? What Do we do?

Dm G7 C
Alone again, naturally
Verse: 3
C
Now looking back over the years,
Em7
And whatever else that appears
Gm
I remember I cried when my father died
Em A7
Never wishing to hide the tears
Dm7
And at sixty five years old,
Fm
My mother, God rest her soul,
C D
Couldn't understand, why the only man
C6 B7
She had ever loved had been taken
Em Gm
Leaving her to start with a heart
A7
So badly broken
Dm
Despite encouragement from me
Fm
No words were ever spoken
C Cmaj7
And when she passed away
Em A7
I cried and cried all day
Dm Em7 A7
Alone again, naturally
Dm G7 Cmaj7
Alone again, naturally
