In a little while from now, if  I'm not feeling any less sour, 
6 -7b -7 -7  -6 -6    6   6  -5  -5   5 5  5  -4 -4  4 4    
I promise myself to treat myself and  visit a nearby tower. 
-3   -4  -5 -5  -5  -4     -3      -4  -5  -5   -4   4 
and climbing to the top    will  throw my self off,  in 
-4  5  5   5   4  -4   5    5  5   4 -4   5    5    5
an effort to make it clear to who ever what it's like
6    -6     -6  -7    -7       6  6   5  -5   6    5 -5  6   -7b  
when you're shattered, left   standing in the lurch at a church with
-7 -7  -7 -6    6    6     -5     -5      5    5    -4 -4   
people saying: "My  God, that's tough", "She stood him up", 
6    6   -5  6 -5  4 -4        3  5   6   6   6   5    
"No point in us remaining",   "We may as well go home"  
3  5  6  -6 -7  -7 -6    6 -5  -6   -3 -3 -4  4        
as I did on my own. A  lone again,  natur al ly.        


3    5     6   6 6  6  6  5   3    3     5  6    6  6  6 6 5 5     
To think that only yesterday, I   was cheerful, bright and gay.  
6   -7  -7 -7  -6  -6   6   6  -5   -5     5  5  5  -4 -4  4   4    
Looking forward to who wouldn't do, the  role I was about to play? 
-3   -4  -5   -5  -5  -4   -3     -4   -5 -5  -4    
But as if to knock me down, re----al'ty came around.  
4   -4  5   5   5   4 -4 5 5   5     4    -4  5 5  6  -6  -6 -7  
And without so much as a mere touch, cut   me into little pieces.  
-7 6   6   5 -5   6      4 -4     5  -7b -7  -7 -7 -6   
Leav-ing me to doubt, talk a---bout God in His mercy.   
6   6 -5 -5  5    5  -4 -4   6   6  -5  6  -5 4  -4   3 5  6   6   6  5    3
Who if He really does exist, wh----y did He desert me?   In my hour ofneed.  I  
5  6 -6 -7  -7 -6     6 -5  -6   -3 -3   -4  4       
truly am indeed, a   lone again, nat-ur---al-ly.       
-3    6    6  6   6   -6b   6   -5   -5b     -7b -7 -7  7    -7   -6b  6   -5
It seems to me that there are more hearts   broken in the world thatcan't be 
 -5 -6b   -6  6-5 -5  5b   5   6  5   -4   -3   4 -5   -4 
mended, left unattended. What do we   do? What do we   do?
