[Verse 1]
        G                                C
You must have been in a place so dark
                       G
You couldn’t feel the light
  Em               D          Cadd9
Reaching for you through that stormy cloud
     G                            C          G
Now here we are gathered in our little home town
      G/D                   D       Cadd9       G
This can’t be the way you meant to draw a crowd

[Chorus]
     Bm              C
Oh , that’s what I keep asking
            G                    D
Was there anything I could have said or done
   Bm         C                         G
Oh I had no clue you were masking a troubled soul
    Dsus      D            Em  Bm
God only knows what went wrong
    C  G/B       Am                     D           G
and  you’d leave the stage in the middle of a song

[Verse 2]
    G                                    C/G         G
Now in my mind I’ll keep you frozen as a 17 year old
Em                  D        Cadd9
Rounding third to score the winning run
      G                             C/G               G
You always played with passion no matter what the game
          G/D                  D        Cadd9        G
When you took the stage you shined just like the sun

[Chorus]
    Bm               C
Oh , that’s what I keep asking
           G                     D
Was there anything I could have said or done
   Bm         C                        G
Oh I had no clue you were masking a troubled soul
    Dsus      D           Em   Bm
God only knows what went wrong
    C G/B        Am                     D           Em  D  C
and  you’d leave the stage in the middle of a song

[Bridge]
         G                          C/G             G
Now the oak trees a swaying in the early autumn breeze
     Em             D     Cadd9
The golden sun is shining on my face
  G                           C/G            G
Tangled thoughts I hear the mocking bird sing
G/D                    D          Cadd9     G
This old world really ain’t that bad a place

[Chorus]
    Bm              C
Oh  there’s no comprehending
     G               D
And who am I to try judge or explain
       Bm              C
Oh but I do have one burning question
     G/D                   Dsus          D
Who told you life wasn’t worth the fight
           Em   D
They were wrong
      C
They lied
           Em  D        C
Now you’re gone and we cry
       G/B            Am7        D                            G  D/G C/G
Cause it’s just not like you to walk away in the middle of a song
               G  D/G C/G
Your beautiful song
         G     D/G Cadd9      D     G
Your absolutely         beautiful  song
