Alone Again Naturally

[Verse 1]
[F]                      [F]           [Fmaj7]                [Fmaj7]
In a little while from now, if I'm not feeling any less sour
  [Cm]                 [Cm]               [Cm/A]           [D7]
I promised myself to treat myself and visit a nearby tower.
    [Gm]              [Gm]       [A#m/G]                 [A#m/G]
And climbing to the top will throw myself off in a
[F]                 [Faug]              [F6]                         [E7]
effort to make it clear to whoever what it's like when you're shattered.
     [Am]              [Am]          [Cm/A]                   [D7]
Left standing in the lurch, at a church where people're saying,
    [Gm]                    [Gm]               [A#m/G]         [A#m/G]
"My God that's tough, she stood him up! No point in us remaining.
   [F]              [F]       [Am]          [D7]
We may as well go home as I did on my own
 [Gm]          [C7b9]     [F]     [F]
alone again,   naturally.

[Verse 2]
              [F]          [F]          [Am]                   [Am]
To think that only yesterday, I was cheerful, bright and gay,
        [Cm]                  [Cm]               [Cm/A]                [D7]
looking forward to, but who wouldn't do, the role I was about to play.
   [Gm]             [Gm]      [A#m/G]       [A#m/G]
As if to knock me down, reality came around
        [F]                [Faug]              [F6]          [E7]
and without so much as a mere touch cut me into little pieces.
[Am]            [Am]           [Cm/A]             [D7]
Leaving me to doubt, talk about God and His mercy
    [Gm]           [Gm]          [A#m/G]        [A#m/G]
who if He really does exist: why did He desert me?
[F]             [F]      [Am]         [D7]
In my hour of need I truly am indeed
 [Gm]          [C7b9]     [F]     [F]
alone again,   naturally.

[Bridge]
   [G#]               [G#]                    [D#]              [D#]
It seems to me that there are more hearts   broken in the world 
              [A#m/G]   [C]          [G#]          [A#m/G]
that can't be mended,   left unattended
           [C]   [C]            [C]        [A#m/G*]   [C*]
What do we do?   What do we do?

[Interlude]
| [F]           | [F]           | [Am]          | [Am]          |
| [Cm]          | [Cm]          | [Cm/A]        | [D7]          |
| [Gm]          | [Gm]          | [A#m/G]       | [A#m/G]       |
| [F]           | [F]           |

[Verse 3]
[F]                     [F]             [Fmaj7]            [Fmaj7]
Looking back over the years and whatever else that appears
    [Cm]                     [Cm]                 [Cm/A]                [D7]
I remember I cried when my father died, never wishing to hide the tears.
       [Gm]              [Gm]      [A#m/G]                [A#m/G]
And at sixtyfive years old, my mother, God rest her soul,
         [F]                   [Faug]                  [F6]             [E7]
couldn't understand, why the only man she had ever loved had been taken.
[Am]             [Am]           [Cm/A]           [D7]
Leaving her to start with a heart so badly broken,
   [Gm]            [Gm]               [A#m/G]           [A#m/G]
despite encouragement from me, no words were ever spoken
    [F]                [F]     [Am]                  [D7]
and when she passed away I cried and cried all day
 [Gm]          [C7b9]     [F]       [D7*]
alone again,   naturally,
  [Gm]         [C7b9] [C7]              [F*]
alone again,      naturally.
