ALONE AGAIN (Naturally)

Key: F
1 -3 4 4 4 4 4 -3
Oh in a lit-tle while from now,
1 1 -3 4 4 4 4 4 -3 -3
if I’m not feel-ing an-y less so-ur,
4 -5* -5* -5* -5 -5 5 5 -3*
I prom-ise my-self to treat my-self
-3* -3 -3 -3 3 3 -2* -2*
and vis-it a near-by tow-er.
-1 3 -3* -3* -3* 3
and climb-ing to the top
-1 3 -3* -3* 3
will throw my-self off,
-2 3 -3 -3 -3 -2 3 -3
in an ef-fort to make it clear
-3 -3 -2 3 -3 -3 -3
to who ev-er what it’s like
4 -5 -5 6
when you’re shat-tered,
6 5 5 -3 -4 4 -3 -4 4
left stand-ing in the lurch at a church
-5* -5* -5* -5* -5
where peo-ple say-ing:
5 5 -3* -3* -3 -3 3 3
“My God, that’s tough, She�s stood him up”,
4 4 -3* 4 -3* -2 3
“No point in us re-main-ing”,
1 -3 4 4 4 -3
“We may as well go home”
1 -3 4 -5 6 6
as I did on my own.
-5 5 -3* -5 2 2 3-2
A-lone a-gain, nat-�ral-ly.
1 -3 4 4 4 4 4 -3
To think that on-ly yes-ter-day,
1 1 -3 4 4 4 -3
I was cheer-ful, bright and gay.
4 -5* -5* -5* -5* -5 4 4 -3*
Look-ing for-ward to who would-n’t do,
-3* -3 -3 -3 3 3 3 -2*
the role I was a-bout to play?
-1 3 3 -3* -3* -3* 3
But as if to knock me down,
-1 3 -3*-3* -3* 3 3
re-al-i-ty came a-round.
-2 3 -3 -3 -3 -2 3 -3 -3
And with-out so much as a mere touch,
-2 3 -3 -3 4 -5 -5 6
cut me in-to lit-tle piec-es.
5 5 -3 -4 4 -3 -3* 4
Leav-ing me to doubt, talk a-bout
-5* -5*-5* -5* -5
God in His mer-cy.
5 5 -3* -3* -3 -3 3 3
Who if He real-ly does ex-ist,
4 4 4 -3* -2 3
why did He de-sert me?
-3 4 4 4 -3
In my hour of need.
1 -3 4 -5 6 6
I tru-ly am in-deed,
-5 5 -3* -5 2 2 3-2
a-lone a-gain, nat-�ral-ly.
-1* 4 4 4 4 4* 4 -3* 3*
It seems to me that there are more hearts
-5* -5* -5* -6 -5* 5* 5 -3*
bro-ken in the world that can’t be
-3* 5* -5 5* -3* -3* 3*
mend-ed, left un-at-tend-ed.
3* 4 3* 3 2 3 -4 3
What do we do? What do we do?
1 -3 4 4 4 4 4 -3
Now look-ing back ov-er the years
1 -3 4 4 4 4 4 -3
And what-ev-er else that ap-pears
4 -5*-5* -5*-5* -5 -5 5 5 5 -3*
I re-mem-ber I cried when my fath-er died
-3* -3 -3 -3 -3 3 3 -2*
Nev-er wish-ing to hide the tears
-1 3 3 -3* -3* -3* 3
And at six-ty five years old
-1 3 -3* -3* -3* 3 3
My moth-er God rest her soul
-2 3 -3 -3 -3 -2 3 -3 -3 -3
Could-n�t un-der-stand why the on-ly man
-2 3 -3 -3 -3 4 -5 -5 6
She had ev-er loved had been tak-en
5 5 -3 -4 5 -3 -4 5
Leav-ing her to start with a heart
-5*-5*-5* -5* -5
So bad-ly bro-ken,
5 5 -3* -3* -3 -3 3 3
Des-pite en-cour-age-ment from me
4 4 -3* 4 -3* -2 3
No words were ev-er spo-ken
1 -3 5 5 5 -3
And when she passed a-way
1 -3 5 -5 6 6
I cried and cried all day
-5 5 -3* -5 2 2 3-2
a-lone a-gain nat-�ral-ly
