Intro
G  D  C  D  G  D  C  D

Verse 1
G
You must have been in a place so dark
C                     G
You couldn?t feel the light
Em               D                   Cadd9
Reaching for you through that stormy cloud
G                               C           G
Now here we are gathered in our little home town
G/D                       D               Cadd9  G
This can?t be the way you meant to draw a crowd

Chorus 1
    Bm               C
Oh, why? That?s what I keep asking
          G                     Dsus4      D
Was there anything I could have said or done?
    Bm       C                       G
Oh, I had no clue you were masking a troubled soul
    Dsus4       D           Em  D
God only knows   what went wrong
    C   Em/B       Am                     D           G  
and why      you?d leave the stage in the middle of a song

Interlude

Verse 2
    G                                 C       G
Now in my mind I keep you frozen as a 17-year old
Em                D                 Cadd9
Rounding third to score the winning run
G                                 C               G
You always played with passion no matter what the game
         G/D                D                    Cadd9  G
When you took the stage you shined just like the sun

Chorus 2
    Bm               C
Oh, why? That?s what I keep asking
          G                     Dsus4    D
Was there anything I could have said or done?
    Bm       C                       G
Oh, I had no clue you were masking a troubled soul
    Dsus4       D           Em  D
God only knows   what went wrong
    C   G/B       Am                     D           Em  
and why     you?d leave the stage in the middle of a song

Verse 3
        G                          C            G
Now the oak trees a-swaying in the early autumn breeze
    Em            D             Cadd9
The golden sun is shining on my face
G                           C/G          G
Tangled thoughts I hear the mocking bird sing
G/D                   D                Cadd9  G
This old world really ain?t that bad a place

Chorus 3
    Bm              C
Oh, why? There?s no comprehending
    G                  Dsus4          D
And who am I to try to judge or ex - plain
    Bm            C
But I do have one burning question
    G                    Dsus4          D
Who told you life wasn?t worth the fight
          Em  D
They were wrong
     C
They lied
           Em   D        C
Now you?re gone   and we cry
G/B                Am     D                            G     D/G  C
It?s just not like you to walk away in the middle of a song

                 D   G     D/G  C  D  
Your beaut - i - ful song

     G       D/G  C  Dsus4        D   G
Your absolutely      beaut ? i - ful song


This is my interpretation of the song and is what I hear. Since
U-G doesn't always include the correct chord voicings, I have
included all of them in this transcription. Please feel free to
experiment with your own chord voicings. 

In order to play the D/G, you may need to use your thumb to fret
the G on the 6th string, 3rd fret.
