Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[F][Am]
[Gm][C][F]

[Verse 1]
[F]In a little while from now
If I'm [Am]not feeling any less sour
I [Cm]promise myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby [D]tower
And [Gm]climbing to the top
Will [Bbm]throw myself off
In an [F]effort to
Make it clear to whoever
What it's like when you're [E]shattered
Left [Am]standing in the lurch at a [Cm]church
Were people [D]saying, My [Gm]God, that's tough
She stood him up
No [Bbm]point in us remaining
We [F]may as well go home
As [Am]I did on my own[D]
A[Gm]lone [C]again, natural[F]ly

[Verse 2]
To [F]think that only yesterday
I was [Am]cheerful, bright and gay
Looking [Cm]forward to who wouldn't do
The role I was about to [D]play
But as [Gm]if to knock me down
Re[Bbm]ality came around
And with[F]out so much as a mere touch
Cut me into little [E]pieces
[Am]Leaving me to doubt
Talk a[Cm]bout, God in His [D]mercy
Oh, [Gm]if he really does exist
[Bbm]Why did he desert me
[F]In my hour of need
I [Am]truly am in[D]deed
A[Gm]lone [C]again, natural[F]ly

[Bridge 1]
It [Ab]seems to me that
There are more hearts
[Eb]Broken in the world
That can't be [Bbm]mended
[C]Left unatten[Ab]ded
[Fm]What do we do[C]
What do we [Gm]do[C]

[Solo 1]
[F][Am]
[Cm][D]
[Gm][Bbm]
[F][F][E]
[Am][Cm][D]
[Gm][Bbm]
[F][Am][D]
A[Gm]lone [C]again, natural[F]ly

[Verse 3]
[F]Looking back over the years
And what[Am]ever else that appears
I re[Cm]member I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide the [D]tears
And at [Gm]sixty-five years old
My [Bbm]mother, God rest her soul
Couldn't [F]understand why the only man
She had ever loved had been [E]taken
[Am]Leaving her to start
With a [Cm]heart so badly [D]broken
Des[Gm]pite encouragement from me
No [Bbm]words were ever spoken
And [F]when she passed away
I [Am]cried and cried all [D]day
A[Gm]lone [C]again, natural[Am]ly[D]
A[Gm]lone [C]again, natural[F]ly
