Worked out on request for Paul Groom.
If you like my "work" don't hesitate to add favorite or to give it the STARS it deserves

ATTENTION: You are experienced? Then you don't have to use Capo. USE TRANSPOSE BUTTON
+5.
ATTENTION: All chords for 2 OR count the *
ATTENTION: Much too difficult? Then sure try BUTTON SIMPLIFY and the song is still nice.
Or only play a few strings, try: Gm = xx(0)333, Gm/E = (0)x233, C6 = Am, Fm = (1)xx111,
Fm/D = xx0111,
G7b9 = (3)x0101, Eb = xxx343, Bb = xxx331, ...
[Verse 1]
C C Cmaj7 Cmaj7
In a little while from now, if I'm not feeling any less sour
Gm Gm Gm/E A7
I promised myself to treat myself and visit a nearby tower.
Dm Dm Fm/D Fm/D
And climbing to the top will throw (lyrics?)myself off in a
C Caug C6 B7
effort to make it clear to who ever what it's like when you're shattered.
Em Em Gm/E A7
Left standing in the lurch, at a church where people're saying,
Dm Dm Fm/D Fm/D
"My God that's tough, she stood him up! No point in us remaining.
C C Em A7
We may as well go home as I did on my own
Dm G7b9 C C
alone again, naturally.
[Verse 2]
C C Em Em
To think that only yesterday, I was cheerful, bright and gay,
Gm Gm Gm/E A7
looking forward to, but who wouldn't do, the role I was about to play.
Dm Dm Fm/D Fm/D
As if to knock me down, reality came around
C Caug C6 B7
and without so much as a mere touch cut me into little pieces.
Em Em Gm/E A7
Leaving me to doubt, talk about God and His mercy
Dm Dm Fm/D Fm/D
who if He really does exist: why did He desert me?
C C Em A7
In my hour of need I truly am indeed
Dm G7b9 C C
alone again, naturally.
[Bridge]
Eb Eb Bb Bb
It seems to me that there are more hearts broken in the world
Fm/D G Eb Fm/D
that can't be mended, left unattended
G G G Fm/D* G*
What do we do? What do we do?

[Verse 3]
C C Cmaj7 Cmaj7
Looking back over the years and whatever else that appears
Gm Gm Gm/E A7
I remember I cried when my father died, never wishing to hide the tears.
Dm Dm Fm/D Fm/D
And at sixtyfive years old, my mother, God rest her soul,
C Caug C6 B7
couldn't understand, why the only man she had ever loved had been taken.
Em Em Gm/E A7
Leaving her to start with a heart so badly broken,
Dm Dm Fm/D Fm/D
despite encouragement from me, no words were ever spoken
C C Em A7
and when she passed away I cried and cried all day
Dm G7b9 C A7*
alone again, naturally,
Dm G7b9 G7 C*
alone again, naturally.
