Faith Hill – Why (Guitar)

    G
You must have been in a place so dark

    C                G
You couldn't see the light

Em               D                  C
Reachin' for you through the stormy cloud

    G
Now here we are gathered

       C          G
In our little hometown

     Em                        D               G
This can't be the way you were meant to draw a crowd

   Bm               C
Oh why, that's what I keep asking

          G                      D
Was there anything I could have said or done

        Bm          C
Oh, and I, I had no clue you were masking

  G                  D
A troubled soul, God only knows

          Em   D    C
What went wrong and why

          D
You would leave the stage

                   G   C G C
In the middle of a song

    G
Now in my mind I keep you frozen

     C              G
As a seventeen-year-old

Em                D                 C
Rounding third to score the winning run

    G
You always played with passion

   C              G
No matter what the game

         Em                   D                   C  G
When you took the stage you'd shine just like the sun

   Bm               C
Oh why, that's what I keep asking

          G                      D
Was there anything I could have said or done

        Bm          C
Oh, and I, I had no clue you were masking

  G                  D
A troubled soul, God only knows

          Em   D    C
What went wrong and why

          D
You would leave the stage

                   G  C
In the middle of a song

               G  C
Your beautiful song

        G
Now the oak trees are swaying

        C           G
In the early autumn breeze

      Em            D             C
And a golden sun is shining on my face

        G
Through tangled thoughts I hear

  C           G
A mockingbird sing

                   Em           D                   C    G
And whole this old world really ain't that bad of a place

       Bm              C
Oh but why, there's no comprehending

    G                  D
And who am I to try to judge or explain

        Bm            C
Oh, but I, I have one burning question

    G                    D
Who told you life wasn't worth the fight

          Em   D         C
They were wrong and they lied

   Em      Bm            C
Now you're gone and they cry

            Am              D
'Cause it's not like you to walk away

                   G   C
In the middle of a song

               G   C
Your beautiful song

                          G
Your absolutely beautiful song
