GM7In a little while from now,G6
If I'm Bm7not feeling any less sour
DmI promised myself to Dm7treat myself
Bm7b5And visit a nearby E7tower,
And Am7climbing to the top,
Will Am7b5throw myself off
In an Geffort to make it Gaugclear to who
Ever G6what it's like when your F#7shattered
Left Bm7standing in the lurch, at a Bm7b5church
Where people 're E7saying,
"My Am7God that's tough, she stood him up!
No Am7b5point in us C/Dremaining.
GM7May as well go home."G6
As Bm7I did on my E7/G#own,
Am7Alone againD7(b9), naturaGM7llyG6
To GM7think that only yesterday,G6
I was Bm7cheerful, bright and gay,
Looking Dmforward to, but Dm7who wouldn't do,
The Bm7b5role I was about to E7play
But as Am7if to knock me down,
Am7b5Reality came around
And Gwithout so much as a Gaugmere touch,
Cut me G6into little F#7pieces
Bm7Leaving me to doubt,
All Bm7b5about God and His E7mercy
For Am7if He really does exist
Am7b5Why did He C/Ddesert me
GM7In my hour of need?G6
I Bm7truly am E7/G#indeed,
Am7Alone again,D7(b9) naturallyGM7 G6
It Bbseems to me that
There are more hearts
F7Broken in the world
That can't be Am7b5mended
D7(b9)Left BbM7unattended
EdimWhat do we DM7do? What do we Am7b5do?D7(b9)

Am7Alone again,D7(b9) naturallyGM7 G6
Now GM7looking back over the years,G6
And what Bm7ever else that appears
I Dmremember I cried when my father died
Never Bm7b5wishing to have cried E7the tears
And at Am7sixty-five years old,
My Am7b5mother, God rest her soul,
Couldn't Gunderstand, why the Gaugonly man
She had G6ever loved had been F#taken
Bm7Leaving her to start with a Bm7b5heart
So badly E7broken
DesAm7pite encouragement from me
No Am7b5words were ever C/Dspoken
And GM7when she passed awayG6
I Bm7cried and cried all E7/G#day
Am7Alone again,D7(b9) naturallyBm7 E7
Am7Alone again, D7(b9)naturallyGM7
