[Intro]
Dmaj7 D6
F#m7 F#7sus4 F#m7
Em7 A7b9 D
[Verse 1]
Dmaj7 D6
In a little while from now,
F#m7 F#7sus4
If I'm not feeling any less sour
Am
I promised myself to treat myself
F#m7b5 B7
And visit a nearby tower,
Em7
And climbing to the top,
Em7b5 Gm6
Will throw myself off
D Daug
In an effort to make it clear to who
D6 C#7
Ever what it's like when you're shattered
F#m Am
Left standing in the lurch, at a church
B7b9 B7
Where people're say___ing,
Em
"My God that's tough, she stood him up!
Em7b5 Gm6
No point in us remaining.
Dmaj7 D6
We may as well go home."
F#m F#m7 B7
As I did on my own...
[Refrain]
Em A7b9 D
Alone again, naturally
[Verse 2]
Dmaj7 D6
To think that only yesterday,
F#m7 F#7sus4
I was cheerful, bright and gay,
Am
Looking forward to, but who wouldn't do,
F#m7b5 B7
The role I was about to play
Em7
But as if to knock me down,
Em7b5 Gm6 Em7b5
Rea__lity came around
D Daug
And without so much as a mere touch,
D6 C#7
Cut me into little pieces
F#m
Leaving me to doubt,
Am B7b9 B7
Talk about God and His mer___cy
Em
Who if He really does exist
Em7b5 Gm6
Why did He desert me
Dmaj7 D6
In my hour of need?
F#m F#m7 B7
I truly am in__deed,
[Refrain]
Em A7b9 D
Alone again, naturally
[Bridge]
F
It seems to me that
There are more hearts
C7 C7/Bb
broken in the world
Em7b5
that can't be mended
Bbm 5 F
Left unattended
Bm7b5 Amaj7 A9/E A7
What do we do?___ What do we do?
[Interlude: Flamenco Guitar]
Dmaj7 D6 F#m7 F#7sus4 F#m7
Am F#m7b5 B7
Em7 Em7b5
D Daug D6 C#7
F#m Am B7b9 B7
Em Em7b5 Gm6
Dmaj7 D6 F#m F#m7 B7
[Refrain]
Em A7b9 D
Alone again, naturally
[Verse 3]
Dmaj7 D6
Now looking back over the years,
F#m7 F#7sus4
And whatever else that appears
Am
I remember I cried when my father died
F#m7b5 B7
Never wishing to hide the tears
Em7
And at sixty five years old,
Em7b5
My mother, God rest her soul,
D Daug
Couldn't understand, why the only man
D6 C#7
She had ever loved had been taken
F#m Am
Leaving her to start with a heart
B7b9 B7
So badly bro___ken
Em
Despite encouragement from me
Em7b5 Gm6
No words were ever spoken
Dmaj7 D6
And when she passed away
F#m F#m7 B7
I cried and cried all day
[Refrain/Ending]
Em A7b9 D/F# F#m7 B7
Alone again, naturally
Em A7b9 A7 D
Alone again,______naturally
