IT MUST HAVE BEEN
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
HOMETOWN
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 WOULD LEAVE
THE STAGE
IN THE MIDDLE
OF A SONG
Mmmm Hmmm
Mmmm
NOW IN MY MIND
I KEEP YOU FROZEN AS
A SEVENTEEN 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
OH GOD ONLY KNOWS
WHAT WENT WRONG
AND WHY
YOU WOULD LEAVE
THE STAGE IN THE MIDDLE
OF A SONG
YEAH EH YEAH
4 BAR BREAK
NOW THE OAK TREES
ARE SWAYING
IN THE EARLY
AUTUMN BREEZE
A GOLDEN SUN
IS SHINING ON MY FACE
THROUGH JANGLED
THOUGHTS
I HEAR
A MOCKINGBIRD SING
THIS OLD WORLD
REALLY AIN'T THAT
BAD A PLACE
OH WHY
THERE'S NO
COMPREHENDING
AND WHO AM I
TO TRY TO JUDGE
OR EXPLAIN
OH BUT I
DO HAVE ONE
BURNING QUESTION
WHO TOLD YOU LIFE
WASN'T WORTH
THE FIGHT
THEY WERE WRONG
AND THEY LIED
NOW YOU'RE GONE
AND WE CRIED
IT'S NOT LIKE YOU
TO WALK AWAY
IN THE MIDDLE
OF A SONG
YOUR BEAUTIFUL SONG
YOUR ABSOLUTELY
BEAUTIFUL SONG
