[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

 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
