Alone Again (Naturally) - Gilbert O'Sullivan
Verse 1
In a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to treat myself
E7sus4 E
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top
To throw myself off
In an effort to make it clear to
whoever what it's like when
you're shattered
Left standing in the lurch
At a church with people saying
"My God, that's tough, she stood
him up
No point in us remaining
We may as well go home"
As I did on my own
Alone again, naturally
Verse 2
To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful bright and gay
Looking forward - who wouldn't
do?
E7sus4 E
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
Bridge
It seems to me that there are
more hearts
Broken in the world than can be
mended
Left unattended
What do we do?
What do we do?
Verse 3
Looking back over the years
And whatever else appears
I remember I cried when my
father died
E7sus4 E
Never wishing to hide my tears
And at sixty-five years old
My mother, God rest her soul
G G+
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
Alone again, naturally
