[Bbm]
[Abm] [Db] [Gb]
With a little while from now, [Bbm] not feeling any less sour,
[Dbm] I promise myself to treat myself [Bb] and visit a [Eb] nearby tower.
[Abm] Climbing to the top, [Ab] will throw myself off,
[Gb] In an effort to make clear to whoever won this life.
When [F] you're shattered, [Bbm] left standing in the lurch,
[Dbm] At a church where [Eb] people sing,
[Abm] My God, that stuff she stood him up,
[Ab] No point in us remaining,
[Gb] For me is well gone,
[Bbm] As I did on [Eb] my own, [Abm] alone again.
[Db] [Gb] Naturally, to think that only yesterday,
[Bbm] I was cheerful, bright and gay,
[Dbm] Looking forward to what the wooden door,
[Bb] The role I was about [Eb] to play.
[Abm] But as if to knock me down,
[Ab] Reality came around,
[Gb] Lived without so much as a mere touch,
Cut me into [F] little pieces,
[Bbm] Leaving me to doubt,
Talk [Dbm] about God in [Eb] his mercy,
[Abm] Oh, if he really does exist,
[Ab] Why did he deserve me,
[Gb] In my heart of need?
I [Bbm] truly am [Eb]
indeed, [Abm] alone again,
[Db] [Gb] Naturally, it [A] seems to me that there are more [E] parts,
Broken in the world that can't be [Ab] mended,
[Db] Left [A] unattended.
[Eb] What do we [Db] do?
What do we [Abm] do?

[Abm] Alone again, [Gb] naturally,
Looking back over the years,
[Bbm] Whatever else that appears,
[Dbm] I remember I cried when my father [Bb] died,
Never wishing to hide the tears.
[Abm] Sixty-five years old,
Our [Ab] mother, God rest her soul,
[Gb] Couldn't understand,
Why the only man she had ever [F] loved,
Had been [Bbm] taken,
Leaving her to start,
With a heart so [Eb] badly [Abm] broken,
Despite encouragement from [Ab] me,
No words were ever spoken,
[Gb] When she passed away,
[Bbm] I cried and [Eb] cried all day,
[Abm] Alone again, [Bbm] naturally,
[Eb]
[Abm] Alone again, [Db] naturally.
