Intro
Verse 1
You must have been in a place so dark
You couldn’t feel the light
Reaching for you through that stormy cloud
Now here we are gathered in our little home town
This can’t be the way you meant to draw a crowd
Chorus 1
Oh, why? That’s what I keep asking
Was there anything I could have said or done?
Oh, I had no clue you were masking a troubled soul
God only knows what went wrong
and why you’d leave the stage in the middle of a song
Interlude
Verse 2
Now in my mind I keep you frozen as a 17-year old
Rounding third to score the winning run
You always played with passion no matter what the game
When you took the stage you shined just like the sun
Chorus 2
Oh, why? That’s what I keep asking
Was there anything I could have said or done?
Oh, I had no clue you were masking a troubled soul
God only knows what went wrong
and why you’d leave the stage in the middle of a song
Interlude

Verse 3
Now the oak trees a-swaying in the early autumn breeze
The golden sun is shining on my face
Tangled thoughts I hear the mocking bird sing
This old world really ain’t that bad a place
Chorus 3
Oh, why? There’s no comprehending
And who am I to try to judge or ex - plain
But I do have one burning question
Who told you life wasn’t worth the fight
They were wrong
They lied
Now you’re gone and we cry
It’s just not like you to walk away in the middle of a song
Your beaut - i - ful song
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
the G on the 6th string, 3rd fret.
