[Abm] [Db] [Gb] Oh, in a little while from now [Bbm] I'm not feeling any lesser
I [Dbm] promised myself to treat myself and visit [Eb] a nearby tower
[Abm] And climbing to the top will [Ab] throw myself off
[Gb] In an effort to make little room
[Ebm] Have a what it's like when [F] you're shattered
[Bbm] Left standing in the lurch at [Bb] a church
Where people [Eb] are saying, [Abm] my God, that's tough
She stood him up, no [Ab] point in us remaining
[Gb] He may as well go home
[Bbm] As I did on [Eb] my [Db] own, [Abm] alone again
[Db] [Gb] Naturally, to think that only yesterday
[Bbm] I was cheerful, bright and gay
[Dbm] Looking forward to what wouldn't do
[Bb] The role I was about [Eb] 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 little [F] pieces, [Bbm]
leaving me to doubt
Thought about God in [Eb] His mercy, [Abm] for if He really does exist
[Ab] Why did He desert me [Gb] 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 more [E] hearts broken in the world
That [Ab] can't be mended, [Db] left [A] unattended
[Eb] What do [Db] we do?
What [Abm] do we do?

[Bbm] [Eb] Alone [Db] [Abm]
again, [Db] [Gb] naturally
Now looking back over the years
[Bbm] Whatever else that appears
[Dbm] I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide the [Eb] tears
[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
[F] Had been taken
[Bbm]
Leaving her to start [Bb] with a heart so [Eb] badly broken
[Abm] Despite encouragement from me
[Ab] No words were ever spoken
[Gb] But when she passed away
[Bbm] I cried and cried [Eb] all day
[Abm] Alone again, [Db] [Bbm] naturally
[Eb] [Abm] Alone again, [Db] naturally
