Why Chords

[Intro]
G  D/G  C    x2
 
[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 why, 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
    Dsus4     D            Em  Bm
God only knows what went wrong
    C G/B      Am                     D            G
and why  you’d leave the stage in the middle of a song
 
[Instrumental]

 G  D/G  C/G
 
[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 why, 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
    Dsus4     D           Em   Bm
God only knows what went wrong
    C G/B      Am                     D           Em  D  C
and why  you’d leave the stage in the middle of a song
 
   Em  D  C  G/B
Yeeaah
Asus4  A  Asus4  A  G/B C
 
[Bridge]
         G                            C/G           G
Now the oak trees are 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 a mockingbird sing
G/D                    D          Cadd9     G
This old world really ain’t that bad a place
 
[Chorus]
   Bm              C
Oh why, there’s no comprehending
    G                   D
And who am I to try to judge or explain
        Bm             C
Oh, but I do have one burning question
     G/D                  Dsus4         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
