     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(5-)       D#7(9-)
And visit a nearby tower
    G#m
And climbing to the top
     G#m7(5-)
Will throw myself off
      F#                F#5+
In an effort to make it clear to who-
     F#6                                      F7
Ever wants to know what it's like when you're shattered
     A#m
Left standing in the lurch
     A#m7(5-)           D#7(9-)
At a church with people saying
    G#m
My God, that's tough, she stood him up
   G#m7(5-)
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(9-)     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(5-)            D#7(9-)
The role I was about to play
      G#m
And as if to knock me down
  G#m7(5-)
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(5-)         D#7(9-)
Talk about  God in his mercy
   G#m
Who if He really does exist
G#m7(5-)
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(9-)   F#
Alone again,   naturally

    A                                      E
It seems to me that there are more hearts broken in the world
            G#m7(5-)    C#7(9-)
Than can be mended
        A        D#m7(5-)
Left unattended
           C#7M
What do we do?
          G#m7  C#7(9)
What do we do?

 G#m7      C#7(9-)    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(5-)            D#7(9-)
Never wishing to hide the tears
       G#m
And at sixty-five years old
   G#m7(5-)
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(5-)       D#7(9-)
With a heart so badly broken
   G#m
Despite encouragement from me
   G#m7(5-)
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(9-)    A#m7(9)  D#7(9)
Alone again     naturally
 G#m7       C#7(9-)  C#7    F#
Alone again........ naturally
