Verse 1:
    Bb
You must have been in a place so dark
   Eb                Bb
You couldn't see the light
Gm               F                  Eb
Reachin' for you through the stormy cloud
    Bb
Now here we are gathered

In our little hometown
     F                                         Bb
This can't be the way you were meant to draw a crowd


Chorus:
   Dm               Eb
Oh why, that's what I keep asking
          Bb
Was there anything
             F
I could have said or done
        Dm          Eb
Oh, and I, I had no clue you were masking
  Bb                 F
A troubled soul, God only knows
          Gm Bb     Eb
What went wrong and why
                    Cm
You would leave the stage
       F           Bb   Eb   Bb
In the middle of a song


Verse 2:
    Bb
Now in my mind I keep you frozen
     Eb             Bb
As a seventeen-year-old
Gm                F                 Eb
Rounding third to score the winning run
    Bb
You always played with passion
   Eb              Bb
No matter what the game
                              F                   Eb Bb
When you took the stage you'd shine just like the sun


Chorus:
        Dm               Eb
Oh then why, that's what I keep asking
          Bb
Was there anything
             F
I could have said or done
        Dm          Eb
Oh, and I, I had no clue you were masking
  Bb                 F
A troubled soul, God only knows
          Gm Bb     Eb
What went wrong and why
                    Cm
You would leave the stage
       F           Gm   Eb
In the middle of a song
               Gm   Eb   C5 C     Eb
Your beautiful song


Verse 3:
        Bb
Now the oak trees are swaying

In the early autumn breeze
      Gm            F             Eb
And a golden sun is shining on my face
        Bb
Through tangled thoughts I hear
  Eb          Bb
A mockingbird sing
                                F           Eb           Bb
And whole this old world really ain't that bad of a place


Chorus:
       Dm              Eb
Oh but why, there's no comprehending
    Bb                 F
And who am I to try to judge or explain
        Dm            Eb
Oh, but I, I have one burning question
    Bb                   F
Who told you life wasn't worth the fight
          Gm D           Eb
They were wrong and they lied
   Gm        Dm          Eb
Now you're gone and they cry
            Cm              F
'Cause it's not like you to walk away
                   Bb   Eb
In the middle of a song

               Bb
Your beautiful song
Eb                Bb      F   Gm
Your absolutely beautiful song
