Verse 1:
F#maj7 F#6
In a little while from now,
A#m7 A#7sus4
If I’m not feeling any less sour
C#m
I promised myself to treat myself
Am7-5 D#7
And visit a nearby tower,
G#m7
And climbing to the top,
Gm7-5 Bm6
Will throw myself off
F# F#aug
In an effort to make it clear to who
F#6 F7
Ever what it’s like when your shattered
A#m C#m
Left standing in the lurch, at a church
D7-9 D#7
Where people ‘re saying,
G#m
“My God that’s tough, she stood him up!
Gm7-5 Bm6
No point in us remaining.
F#maj7 F#6
We may as well go home.”
A#m A#m7 D#7
As I did on my own,
G#m C#7 F#
Alone again, naturally
Verse 2:
F#maj7 F#6
To think that only yesterday,
A#m7 A#7sus4
I was cheerful, bright and gay,
C#m
Looking forward to, but who wouldn’t do,
Am7-5 D#7
The role I was about to play
G#m7
But as if to knock me down,
Gm7-5 Bm6 Gm7-5
Reality came around
F# F#aug
And without so much as a mere touch,
F#6 F7
Cut me into little pieces
A#m
Leaving me to doubt,
C#m D7-9 D#7
Talk about God and His mercy
G#m
Who if He really does exist
Gm7-5 Bm6
Why did He desert me
F#maj7 F#6
In my hour of need?
A#m A#m7 D#7
I truly am indeed,
G#m C#7 F#
Alone again, naturally
Bridge:
A
It seems to me that
There are more hearts
E7 E7/D
broken in the world
Em7-5
that can’t be mended
Dm 5 A
Left unattended
Bm7-5 C#maj7 C#9/G# C#7
What do we do? What do we do?
F#maj7 F#6 A#m7 A#7sus4 A#m7

A#m C#m B7-9 D#7
G#m Gm7-5 Bm6
F#maj7 F#6 A#m A#m7 D#7
G#m C7-9 F#
Alone again, naturally
Verse 3:
F#maj7 F#6
Now looking back over the years,
A#m7 A#7sus4
And whatever else that appears
C#m
I remember I cried when my father died
Am7-5 D#7
Never wishing to hide the tears
G#m7
And at sixty five years old,
Gm7-5
My mother, God rest her soul,
F# F#aug
Couldn’t understand, why the only man
F#6 F7
She had ever loved had been taken
A#m C#m
Leaving her to start with a heart
D7-9 D#7
So badly broken
G#m
Despite encouragement from me
Gm7-5 Bm6
No words were ever spoken
F#maj7 F#6
And when she passed away
A#m A#m7 D#7
I cried and cried all day
G#m C7-9 F#/A# A#m7 D#7
Alone again, naturally
G#m C7-9 C#7 F#
Alone again, naturally
