difficulty
very hard |||||
G7+                                         G6                                      Bm7  
In a little while from now.    If I'm not feeling any less sour
     Dm                                                                                      Bm7(5-)                            E7  
I promise myself to treat myself. And visit a nearby tower
     Am7                                                         Am7(5-)  
And climbing to the top. To throw myself off
          G                              G5+                                                         G6                                              F#7  
In an effort to make it clear to who-ever what it's like when you're shattered
        Bm7                                                                      Dm                            E7  
Left standing in the lurch. At a church with people saying
     Am7                                                                                                 Am7(5-)  
"My God, that's tough, she stood him up. No point in us remaining
  G7+                 G6                                 Bm7                    E7              Am7              D7      G7+    G6  
We may as well go home". As I did on my own. Alone again, naturally
G7+                                 G6                                      Bm7  
To think that only yesterday. I was cheerful bright and gay
  Dm                                                                                    Bm7(5-)                            E7  
Looking forward - who wouldn't do?. The role I was about to play
     Am7                                                                 Am7(5-)  
And as if to knock me down. Reality came around
        G                            G5+                                                    G6                                              F#7  
And without so much as a mere touch. Threw me into little pieces
     Bm7                                                              Dm                              E7  
Leaving me to doubt. Talk about God in his mercy
  Am7                                                                                         Am7(5-)  
Who if He really does exist. Why did He desert me
  G7+                    G6              Bm7                    E7         Am7              D7              G  
In my hour of need. I truly am indeed. Alone again, naturally
Bridge
          Bb                                                            F7  
It seems to me that there are more hearts broken in the world
                Am7(5-)      D7              Bb                 Em7(5-)  
Than can be mended.              Left unattended
             D7+                            Am7      D7  
What do we do?    What do we do?
              G7+  G6  Bm7  Dm  Bm7(5-)  E7  Am7  Am7(5-)  G  G5+  G6  F#7  Bm7  Dm  E7  Am7  Am7(5-)  G7+  G6  Bm7  E7  Am7  D7  G7+  G6)  
G7+                            G6                                    Bm7  
Looking back over the years. And whatever else appears
     Dm                                                                                 Bm7(5-)                         E7  
I remember I cried when my father died. Never wishing to hide my tears
     Am7                                                            Am7(5-)  
And at sixty-five years old. My mother, God rest her soul
        G                              G5+                                                 G6                                         F#7  
Couldn't understand why the only man. She had ever loved had been taken
     Bm7                                                                    Dm                              E7  
Leaving her to start. With a heart so badly broken. Despite encouragement from me
     Am7                                                                                         Am7(5-)  
No words were ever spoken. When she passed away. I cried and cried all day
Am7            D7    Bm7            E7         Am7         D7                    G  
Alone again naturally.                 Alone again              naturally
