[Verse 1]
Dmaj7In a little while from nD6ow,
If I'm F#m7not feeling any less F#7sus4sour
I Ampromised myself to treat myself
And F#m7b5visit a nearby B7tower,
And clEm7imbing to the top,
Will thEm7b5row myself offGm6
In an Deffort to make it Daugclear to who
Ever D6what it's like when you're C#7shattered
Left F#mstanding in the lurch, at a chAmurch
Where people're B7b9say___B7ing,
"My EmGod that's tough, she stood him up!
No pEm7b5oint in us remaiGm6ning.
WeDmaj7 may as well go D6home."
As IF#m did F#m7on my B7own...
[Refrain]
AlEmone again,A7b9 naturallDy
[Verse 2]
To tDmaj7hink that only yesterdaD6y,
I was F#m7cheerful, bright and F#7sus4gay,
Looking fAmorward to, but who wouldn't do,
The rF#m7b5ole I was about to plB7ay
But as Em7if to knock me down,
ReaEm7b5__lity Gm6came aroEm7b5und
And wiDthout so much as a Daugmere touch,
Cut me D6into little C#7pieces
F#mLeaving me to doubt,
Talk aboutAm God and His B7b9mer___B7cy
Who iEmf He really does exist
Em7b5Why did He desert Gm6me
Dmaj7In my hour of nD6eed?
I trF#muly aF#m7m in__B7deed,
[Refrain]
AlEmone again,A7b9 naturallDy
[Bridge]
It sFeems to me that
There are more hearts
C7broken in the woC7/Bbrld
that can't be mEm7b5ended

Now Dmaj7looking back over the yD6ears,
And whatF#m7ever else that appF#7sus4ears
I remAmember I cried when my father died
Never F#m7b5wishing to hide the tB7ears
And at sEm7ixty five years old,
My mEm7b5other, God rest her soul,
Couldn't uDnderstand, why the Daugonly man
She had D6ever loved had been C#7taken
F#mLeaving her to start with a hAmeart
So badly B7b9bro___B7ken
DespEmite encouragement from me
No woEm7b5rds were ever Gm6spoken
And Dmaj7when she passed awD6ay
I crF#mied and crF#m7ied all B7day
[Refrain/Ending]
