Intro: G D C D G D C D 

        G                                C 
You must have been in a place so dark 
                       G 
You couldn’t feel the light 
  Em               D          Cadd9       G 
Reaching for you through that stormy cloud 
                               C            G 
Now here we are gathered in our little home town 
      Em                   D       Cadd9       G 
This can’t be the way you meant to draw a crowd 

    D               C 
Oh why, that’s what I keep asking 
            G                    D 
Was there anything I could have said or done 
             C                        G 
Oh I had no clue you were masking a troubled soul 
    Dsus      D            Em  D 
God only knows what went wrong 
     C         Am                     D           G   
 D C D G D C D 
and why you’d leave the stage in the middle of a song 

    G                                    C         G 
Now in my mind I’ll keep you frozen as a 17 year old 
Em                  D        Cadd9     G 
Rounding third to score the winning run 
                                   C               G 
You always played with passion no matter what the game 
          Em                  D        Cadd9        G 
When you took the stage you shined just like the sun 

    D               C 
Oh why, that’s what I keep asking 
           G                     D 
Was there anything I could have said or done 
             C                        G 
Oh I had no clue you were masking a troubled soul 
    Dsus      D           Em   D 
God only knows what went wrong 
     C         Am                     D           Em 
and why you’d leave the stage in the middle of a song 

D C G Em D C G  
D Em7 D  Am C 

         G                          C             G 
Now the oak trees a swaying in the early autumn breeze 
     Em             D     Cadd9     G 
The golden sun is shining on my face 
                             C            G 
Tangled thoughts I hear the mocking bird sing 
 Em                    D          Cadd9     G 
This old world really ain’t that bad a place 

    D              C 
Oh why there’s no comprehending 
     G               D 
And who am I to try judge or explain 
                   C 
But I do have one burning question 
     G                    Dsus          D 
Who told you life wasn’t worth the fight 
           Em 
They were wrong 
      C 
They lied 
            Em          C 
Now you’re gone and we cry 
              Cadd9   Am               D            
   D C 
It’s just not like you to walk away in the middle of a song 

         D      G      D C D 
Your beautiful song 

        G     D Cadd9  D4  D      G 
Your absolutely         beautiful     song
