In Gbmaj7a little while from now Gb6
If I'm Bbm7not feeling any less sour
I Dbmpromise myself to treat myself
And Bbm7(b5)visit a nearby toEb7wer
And Abm7climbing to the top
To Abm7(b5)throw myself off
In an Gbeffort to make it Gb(aug)clear to whoever Gb6what it's like when you're F7shattered
Left Bbm7standing in the lurch
At a Dbmchurch with people Eb7saying
"My Abm7God, that's tough, she stood him up
No Abm7(b5)point in us remaining
We Gbmaj7may as well go Gb6home"
As Bbm7I did on my Eb7own
Abm7Alone again, Db7(b9)naturally Gbmaj7 Gb6
Couplet
To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful bright and gay
Looking forward - who wouldn't do?
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
Abm7Alone aDb7(b9)gain, natuGbrally

It seems Ato me that there are more hearts broken E7in the world
Than can be Abm7(b5)mended Db7(b9)

Couplet
Looking back over the years
And whatever else appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide my tears
And at sixty-five years old
My mother, God rest her soul
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
