Gilbert O'Sullivan Alone Again Naturally

tom: Em G In a little while from now Bm If I'm not feeling any less sour Bm E7 And visit a nearby tower Am And climbing to the top Cm To throw myself off G G In an effort to make it clear to whoever G What it's like when you're Gb7 Shattered Bm7 Left standing in the lurch D7 E7 At a church with people saying Am "My God, that's tough, she stood him up Cm No point in us remaining G G7M We may as well go home" Bm7 E7 As I did on my own Am D7 G Alone again, naturally G To think that only yesterday D7 Looking forward - who wouldn't do? Bm E7 The role I was about to play Am And as if to knock me down Cm Reality came arouGnd G G And without so much as a mere touch G Gb7 Threw me into little pieces Bm7 Leaving me to doubt D7 E7 Talk about God in his mercy Am Who if He really does exist Cm Why did He desert me G In my hour of need Bm7 E7 I truly am indeed Am D7 G Alone again, naturally Bb It seems to me that there are more hearts F Cm D7 Broken in the world than can be mended Bb Left unattended D7M What do we do? Am7 D7 What do we do? G Looking back over the years Bm And whatever else appears D7 I remember I cried when my father died Bm7 E7 Never wishing to hide my tears Am And at sixty-five years old Cm My mother, God rest her soul G G Couldn't understand why the only man G Gb7 She had ever loved had been taken Bm7 Leaving her to start D7 E7 With a heart so badly broken Am Despite encouragement from me Cm No words were ever spoken G Bm7 E7 When she passed away I cried and cried all day Am D7 G Bm Alone again, Naturally Am D7 G Alone again, Naturally
