Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

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

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

Now in my mind I’ll 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

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

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

Oh why there’s no comprehending

And who am I to try judge or explain

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 beautiful song

Your absolutely beautiful song
