Alone Again (naturally)

Introd: G7M G6 Bm7 E7 Am7 D7/9- G7M G6 G7M G6 Bm7 In a little while from now. If I'm not feeling any less sour Dm Bm5-/7 E7 I promise myself to treat myself. And visit a nearby tower Am7 Am5-/7 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 Am5-/7 "My God, that's tough, she stood him up. No point in us remaining G7M G6 Bm7 E7 Am7 D7/9- G7M G6 We may as well go home". As I did on my own. Alone again, naturally G7M G6 Bm7 To think that only yesterday. I was cheerful bright and gay Dm Bm5-/7 E7 Looking forward - who wouldn't do?. The role I was about to play Am7 Am5-/7 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 Am5-/7 Who if He really does exist. Why did He desert me G7M G6 Bm7 E7 Am7 D7/9- G In my hour of need. I truly am indeed. Alone again, naturally [Ponte] Bb F7 It seems to me that there are more hearts broken in the world Am5-/7 D7/9- A# Em5-/7 Than can be mended. Left unattended D7M Am7 D7/9- What do we do? What do we do? Interlude: G7M G6 Bm7 Dm Bm5-/7 E7 Am7 Am5-/7 G G5+ G6 F#7 Bm7 Dm7 E7 Am7 Am5-/7 G7M G6 Bm7 E7 Am7 D7/9- G7M G6 G7M G6 Bm7 Looking back over the years. And whatever else appears Dm Bm5-/7 E7 I remember I cried when my father died. Never wishing to hide my tears Am7 Am5-/7 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 Am5-/7 No words were ever spoken. When she passed away. I cried and cried all day Am7 D7/9- Bm7 E7 Am7 D7/9- D7 G Alone again naturally. Alone again naturally
