G C
You must have been in a place so dark
G
You couldn't feel the light
Em D C9 G
Reaching for you through that stormy cloud
C G
Now here we are gathered in our little home town
Em D C9 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
D Em D
God only knows what went wrong
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 C9 G
Rounding third to score the winning run
C G
You always played with passion no matter what the game
Em D C9 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
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
G C G
Now the oak trees a swaying in the early autumn breeze
Em D C9 G
The golden sun is shining on my face
C G
Tangled thoughts I hear the mocking bird sing
Em D C9 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 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
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 C9 D( G
Your absolutely beautiful song
