You must have been in a place so dark

Reachin' for you through the stormy cloud

Now the oak trees are swaying

Through tangled thoughts I hear

  Bb majorBb          FF
Who told you life wasn't worth the fight
     G minorGm D MajorD      Eb MajorEb
They were wrong and they lied
  G minorGm    DmDm     Eb MajorEb
Now you're gone and they cry
      C minorCm       FF
'Cause it's not like you to walk away
          Bb majorBb  Eb MajorEb
In the middle of a song

        Bb majorBb
