GM7In a little while from now,G6

If I'm Bm7not feeling any less sour

DmI promised myself to Dm7treat myself

Bm7b5And visit a nearby E7tower,

And Am7climbing to the top,

Will Am7b5throw myself off

In an Geffort to make it Gaugclear to who

Ever G6what it's like when your F#7shattered

Left Bm7standing in the lurch, at a Bm7b5church

Where people 're E7saying,

"My Am7God that's tough, she stood him up!

No Am7b5point in us C/Dremaining.

GM7May as well go home."G6

As Bm7I did on my E7/G#own,

Am7Alone againD7(b9), naturaGM7llyG6

To GM7think that only yesterday,G6

I was Bm7cheerful, bright and gay,

Looking Dmforward to, but Dm7who wouldn't do,

The Bm7b5role I was about to E7play

But as Am7if to knock me down,

Am7b5Reality came around

And Gwithout so much as a Gaugmere touch,

Cut me G6into little F#7pieces

Bm7Leaving me to doubt,

All Bm7b5about God and His E7mercy

For Am7if He really does exist

Am7b5Why did He C/Ddesert me

GM7In my hour of need?G6

I Bm7truly am E7/G#indeed,

Am7Alone again,D7(b9) naturallyGM7 G6

It Bbseems to me that

There are more hearts

F7Broken in the world

That can't be Am7b5mended

D7(b9)Left BbM7unattended

EdimWhat do we DM7do? What do we Am7b5do?D7(b9)

Now GM7looking back over the years,G6

And what Bm7ever else that appears

I Dmremember I cried when my father died

Never Bm7b5wishing to have cried E7the tears

And at Am7sixty-five years old,

My Am7b5mother, God rest her soul,

Couldn't Gunderstand, why the Gaugonly man

She had G6ever loved had been F#taken

Bm7Leaving her to start with a Bm7b5heart

So badly E7broken

DesAm7pite encouragement from me

No Am7b5words were ever C/Dspoken

And GM7when she passed awayG6

I Bm7cried and cried all E7/G#day
