Alone Again: Chords

Intro:
FA#      LA#m7      SOL#m7  DO#7/9-  FA#

FA#7+
In a little while from now
       LA#m7
If I'm not feeling any less sour
  DO#m   
I promise myself to treat myself
    LA#m7/5-       RE#7
And visit a nearby tower
    SOL#m7
And climbing to the top
     SOL#m7/5-
Will throw myself off
   FA#
In an effort to
        FA#5+
Make it clear to who ever
FA#6                                     FA7
Wants to know what it's like when you're shattered
     LA#m                       LA#m7/5-
Left standing in the lurch at a church
            RE#7       SOL#m7
Were people saying, My God, that's tough

She stood him up
   SIm
No point in us remaining
   FA#7+
We may as well go home
   LA#m7       RE#9
As I did on my own
 SOL#m7     DO#7/9- FA#
Alone again, naturally

   FA#7+
To think that only yesterday
      LA#m7
I was cheerful, bright and gay
        DO#m   
Looking forward to who wouldn't do
    LA#m7/5-            RE#7
The role I was about to play
       SOL#m7
But as if to knock me down
  SOL#m7/5-
Reality came around
      FA#                FA#5+
And without so much as a mere touch
       FA#6        FA7
Cut me into little pieces
LA#m
Leaving me to doubt
      LA#m7/5-         RE#7
Talk about, God in His mercy
    SOL#m7
Oh, if he really does exist
SIm               
Why did he desert me
FA#7+
In my hour of need
  LA#m7      RE#9
I truly am indeed
 SOL#m7    DO#7/9- FA#
Alone again, naturally

   LA
It seems to me that
                      MI7
There are more hearts broken in the world
              SOL#m7/5-  DO#7
That can't be mended
        LA      RE#m7/5-
Left unattended
           DO#7+
What do we do
           SOL#m7   DO#11 DO#7
What do we do

FA#7+      LA#m7      DO#m      LA#m7/5-  RE#9

SOL#m7      SIm      FA#  FA#5+  FA#6  FA7

LA#m       LA#m7/5-  RE#7  SOL#m7      SOL#m7/5-

FA#7+      LA#m7   RE#9

 SOL#m7    DO#7/9- FA#
Alone again, naturally

FA#7+
Looking back over the years
        LA#m7
And whatever else that appears
    DO#m                   
I remember I cried when my father died
      LA#m7/5-            RE#7
Never wishing to hide the tears
       SOL#m7
And at sixty-five years old
   SOL#m7/5-
My mother, God rest her soul
         FA#                FA#5+
Couldn't understand why the only man
        FA#6                FA7
She had ever loved had been taken
LA#m 
Leaving her to start
       LA#m7/5-       RE#7
With a heart so badly broken
  SOL#m7
Despite encouragement from me
   SIm6+
No words were ever spoken
    FA#7+
And when she passed away
  LA#m7               RE#9
I cried and cried all day
 SOL#m7     DO#7/9-  LA#m7   RE#9
Alone again,  naturally
 SOL#m7     DO#7/9- DO#7    FA#
Alone again,        naturally
