Intro: G5 D5 C5 D5 G5 D5 C5 D5
G5 C5
You must have been in a place so dark
G5
You couldn?t feel the light
E5 D5 C5 G5
Reaching for you through that stormy cloud
C5 G5
Now here we are gathered in our little home town
E5 D5 C5 G5
This can?t be the way you meant to draw a crowd
D5 C5
Oh why, that?s what I keep asking
G5 D5
Was there anything I could have said or done
C5 G5
Oh I had no clue you were masking a troubled soul
D5 D5 E5 D5
God only knows what went wrong
C5 A5 D5 G5
D5 C5 D5 G5 D5 C5 D5
and why you?d leave the stage in the middle of a song
G5 C5 G5
Now in my mind I?ll keep you frozen as a 17 year old
E5 D5 C5 G5
Rounding third to score the winning run
C5 G5
You always played with passion no matter what the game
E5 D5 C5 G5
When you took the stage you shined just like the sun
D5 C5
Oh why, that?s what I keep asking
G5 D5
Was there anything I could have said or done
C5 G5
Oh I had no clue you were masking a troubled soul
D5 D5 E5 D5
God only knows what went wrong
C5 A5 D5 E5
and why you?d leave the stage in the middle of a song
Interlude: D5 C5 G5 E5 D5 C5 G5

G5 C5 G5
Now the oak trees a swaying in the early autumn breeze
E5 D5 C5 G5
The golden sun is shining on my face
C5 G5
Tangled thoughts I hear the mocking bird sing
E5 D5 C5 G5
This old world really ain?t that bad a place
D5 C5
Oh why there?s no comprehending
G5 D5
And who am I to try judge or explain
C5
But I do have one burning question
G5 D5 D5
Who told you life wasn?t worth the fight
E5
They were wrong
C5
They lied
E5 C5
Now you?re gone and we cry
C5 (hold) A5 D5
D5 C5
It?s just not like you to walk away in the middle of a song
D5 G5 D5 C5 D5
Your beautiful song
G5 D5 C5 D(sus) ( D5 ) G5
Your absolutely beautiful song
