G#m7 C#7(b9) C#7 F#
F#7M F#6
In a little while from now
A#m A#7(11)
If I'm not feeling any less sour
C#m C#m7
I promise myself to treat myself
A#m7(b5) D#7(b9)
And visit a nearby tower
G#m
And climbing to the top
G#m7(b5)
Will throw myself off
F# F#(#5)
In an effort to make it clear to who-
F#6 F7
ever what it's like when you're shattered
A#m
Left standing in the lurch
A#m7(b5) D#7(b9)
At a church with people saying
G#m
My God, that's tough, she stood him up
G#m7(b5)
No point in us remaining
F#7M F#6
We may as well go home
A#m7 D#7(9)
As I did on my own
G#m7 C#7(b9) F#
Alone again, naturally
F#7M F#6
To think that only yesterday
A#m A#7(11)
I was cheerful bright and gay
C#m C#m7
Looking forward to - who wouldn't do?
A#m7(b5) D#7(b9)
The role I was about to play
G#m
And as if to knock me down
G#m7(b5)
Reality came around
F# F#(#5)
And without so much as a mere touch
F#6 F7
Threw me into little pieces
A#m
Leaving me to doubt
A#m7(b5) D#7(b9)
Talk about God in his mercy
G#m
Who if He really does exist
G#m7(b5)
Why did He desert me
F#7M F#6
In my hour of need
A#m7 D#7(9)
I truly I'm indeed
G#m7 C#7(b9) F#
Alone again, naturally
[Ponte]
A E
It seems to me that there are more hearts broken in the world
G#m7(b5) C#7(b9)
Than can be mended
A D#m7(b5)
Left unattended
C#7M
What do we do?
G#m7 C#7(9)
What do we do?
[Solo] F#7M F#6 A#m A#7(11)
C#m C#m7 A#m7(b5) D#7(b9)
G#m G#m7(b5)
F# F#(#5) F#6 F7 A#m
A#m7(b5) D#7(b9) G#m G#m7(b5)
F#7M F#6 A#m7 D#7(9)
G#m7 C#7(b9) F#
Alone again naturally
F#7M F#6
Looking back over the years
A#m A#7(11)
And whatever else that appears
C#m C#m7
I remember I cried when my father died
A#m7(b5) D#7(b9)
Never wishing to hide the tears
G#m
And at sixty-five years old
G#m7(b5)
My mother, God rest her soul
F# F#(#5)
Couldn't understand why the only man
F#6 F7
She had ever loved had been taken
A#m
Leaving her to start
A#m7(b5) D#7(b9)
With a heart so badly broken
G#m
Despite encouragement from me
G#m7(b5)
No words were ever spoken
F#7M F#6
When she passed away
A#m7 D#7(9)
I cried and cried all day
G#m7 C#7(b9) A#m7(9) D#7(9)
Alone again naturally
G#m7 C#7(b9) C#7 F#
Alone again........ naturally
