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
Em D Cadd9 G
This can’t be the way you meant to draw a crowd
D C
Oh why, that’s what I keep asking
G D
Was there anything I could have said or done
C G
Oh I had no clue you were masking a troubled soul
Dsus D Em D
God only knows what went wrong
C Am D G
D C D G D C D
and why you’d leave the stage in the middle of a song
G C G
Now in my mind I’ll keep you frozen as a 17 year old
Em D Cadd9 G
Rounding third to score the winning run

G C G
Now the oak trees a swaying in the early autumn breeze
Em D Cadd9 G
The golden sun is shining on my face

Tangled thoughts I hear the mocking bird sing
Em D Cadd9 G
This old world really ain’t that bad a place
D C
Oh why there’s no comprehending
G D
And who am I to try judge or explain
C
But I do have one burning question
G Dsus D
Who told you life wasn’t worth the fight
Em
They were wrong
C
They lied
Em C
Now you’re gone and we cry
Cadd9 Am D
