Intro
D MajorD

Verse 1
G+G
You must have been in a place so dark
G+G
You couldn’t feel the light
Cadd9Cadd9
Reaching for you through that stormy cloud
G+G
Now here we are gathered in our little home town
G+G
This can’t be the way you meant to draw a crowd

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

Interlude
D MajorD

Verse 2
  G+G
Now in my mind I keep you frozen as a 17-year old
Cadd9Cadd9
Rounding third to score the winning run
G+G
You always played with passion no matter what the game
     G+G
When you took the stage you shined just like the sun

Chorus 2
  C majorC
Oh, why? That’s what I keep asking
     D MajorD
Was there anything I could have said or done?
  G+G
Oh, I had no clue you were masking a troubled soul
  D MajorD
God only knows  what went wrong
  E minorEm
and why   you’d leave the stage in the middle of a song

Interlude
G/BG/B

C(hold)

Verse 3
    G+G
Now the oak trees a-swaying in the early autumn breeze
  Cadd9Cadd9
The golden sun is shining on my face
G+G
Tangled thoughts I hear the mocking bird sing
G+G
This old world really ain’t that bad a place

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

         D MajorD
Your beaut - i - ful song

   G+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
