Intro:
F#M7 ~ F#6 Bbm7, G#m7 C#7b9 F#M7
Verse 1:
F#M7 F#6
Oh, in a little while from now
Bbm7
If I'm not feeling any less sour
C#m
I promised myself to treat myself
Bbm7b5 D#7
And visit a nearby tower
G#m7
And climbing to the top
G#m7b5
Will throw myself off
F# F#+
In an effort to make it clear to whoever
F#6 F7
What it's like when you're shattered
Bbm7
Left standing in the lurch
C#m D#7
At a church where people saying
G#m7
"My God, that's tough, she stood him up
G#m7b5
No point in us remaining
F#M7 F#6
We may as well go home"
Bbm7 D#7
As I did on my own
G#m7 C#7b9 F#M7 F#6
Alone again, naturally
Verse 2:
F#M7 F#6
To think that only yesterday
Bbm7
I was cheerful, bright, and gay
C#m
Looking forward to, well who wouldn't do?
Bbm7b5 D#7
The role I was about to play
G#m7
But as if to knock me down
G#m7b5
Reality came around
F# F#+
And without so much as a mere touch
F#6 F7
Cut me into little pieces
Bbm7
Leaving me to doubt
C#m D#7
Talk about God in his mercy
G#m7
For if He really does exist
G#m7b5
Why did He desert me?
F#M7 F#6
In my hour of need
Bbm7 D#7
I truly am indeed
G#m7 C#7b9 F#
Alone again, naturally
Bridge:
A
It seems to me that there are more hearts
E
Broken in the world
G#m7b5
Than can't be mended
C#7b9 A D#m7b5
Left unattended
C#M7
What do we do?
G#m7 C#7b9
What do we do?
Adlib:
F#M7 ~ F#6 Bbm7 C#m Bbm7b5 D#7,
G#m7 G#m7b5, F# F#+ F#6 F7 Bbm7 C#m D#7
G#m7 G#m7b5, F#M7 ~ F#6 Bbm7 D#7
G#m7 C#7b9 F#
Alone again, naturally
Verse 3:
F#M7 F#6
Now looking back over the years
Bbm7
And whatever else that appears
C#m
I remember I cried when my father died
Bbm7b5 D#7
Never wishing to hide the tears
G#m7
And at sixty-five years old
G#m7b5
My mother, God rest her soul
F# F#+
Couldn't understand why the only man
F#6 F7
She had ever loved had been taken
Bbm7
Leaving her to start
C#m D#7
With a heart so badly broken
G#m7
Despite encouragement from me
G#m7b5
No words were ever spoken
F#M7 F#6
And when she passed away
Bbm7 D#7
I cried and cried all day
Outro:
G#m7 C#7b9 Bbm7 D#7
Alone again, naturally
G#m7 C#7b9 C#7 F#
Alone again, naturally
