Em7 A7b9 D
_____Verse: 1
Dmaj7 D6
In a little while from now,
F#m7 F#m7sus
If I'm not feeling any less sour
Am
I promised myself to treat myself
F#m7b5 B7
And visit a nearby tower,
Em7
And climbing to the top,
Em7b5 Gm6
Will throw myself off
D Daug
In an effort to make it clear to who
D6 C#7
Ever what it's like when your shattered
F#m Am
Left standing in the lurch, at a church
B7b9 B7
Where people 're say___ing,
Em
"My God that's tough, she stood him up!
Em7b5 Gm6
No point in us remaining.
Dmaj7 D6
We may as well go home."
F#m F#m7 B7
As I did on my own,
Em Bbm 5 D
Alone again, naturally
_____Verse: 2
Dmaj7 D6
To think that only yesterday,
F#m7 F#m7sus
I was cheerful, bright and gay,
Am
Looking forward to, but who wouldn't do,
F#m7b5 B7
The role I was about to play
Em7
But as if to knock me down,
Em7b5 Gm6 Em7b5
Rea__lity came around
D Daug
And without so much as a mere touch,
D6 C#7
Cut me into little pieces
F#m
Leaving me to doubt,
Am B7b9 B7
Talk about God and His mer___cy
Em
Who if He really does exist
Em7b5 Gm6
Why did He desert me
Dmaj7 D6
In my hour of need?
F#m F#m7 B7
I truly am in__deed,
Em Bbm 5 D
Alone again, naturally
_____Bridge:
F
It seems to me that
There are more hearts
C7 C7/Bb
broken in the world
Em7b5
that can't be mended
Bbm 5 F
Left unattended
Bm7b5 Amaj7 A9/E A7
What do we do?____What do we do?

Em Bbm 5 D
Alone again, naturally
_____Verse: 3
Dmaj7 D6
Now looking back over the years,
F#m7 F#m7sus
And whatever else that appears
Am
I remember I cried when my father died
F#m7b5 B7
Never wishing to hide the tears
Em7
And at sixty five years old,
Em7b5
My mother, God rest her soul,
D Daug
Couldn't understand, why the only man
D6 C#7
She had ever loved had been taken
F#m Am
Leaving her to start with a heart
B7b9 B7
So badly bro___ken
Em
Despite encouragement from me
Em7b5 Gm6
No words were ever spoken
Dmaj7 D6
And when she passed away
F#m F#m7 B7
I cried and cried all day
Em Bbm 5 D/F# F#m7 B7
Alone again, naturally
Em Bbm 5 A7 D
Alone again,______naturally

version 2
[G] In a little while from now
If I'm [Bm] not feeling any less sour
I [Dm] promise myself to treat myself
And [Bm] visit a nearby [E7] tower
And [Am] climbing to the top
To [Cm] throw myself off
In an [G] effort to make it [G+] clear to whoever [G6] what it's like when you're [F#7] shattered
Left [Bm7] standing in the lurch
At a [Dm] church with people [E7] saying
"My [Am] God, that's tough, she stood him up
No [Cm] point in us remaining
We [G] may as well go [Gmaj7] home"
As [Bm7] I did on my [E7] own
Al[Am]one again, [D7]naturally
To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful bright and gay
Looking forward - who wouldn't do?
The role I was about to play
And as if to knock me down
Reality came around
And without so much as a mere touch
Threw me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about God in his mercy
Who if He really does exist
Why did He desert me
In my hour of need
I truly am indeed
Alone again, naturally
It [Bb] seems to me that there are more hearts
[F] Broken in the world than can be [Cm] mended [D7]
Left unat[Bb]tended
What do we [Dmaj7] do?
What do we [Am7] do? [D7]
Looking back over the years
And whatever else appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide my tears
And at sixty-five years old
My mother, God rest her soul
Couldn't understand why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start
With a heart so badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
When she passed away I cried and cried all day
Alone again, Naturally [G] [E7} [Am7] [D7] X3
