Rascal Flatts - Why Chords

Intro: G  D  C  D  G  D  C  D

Verse:
G
You must have been in a place so dark
C                     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               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         D
Was there anything I could have said or done?
    Bm       C                       G
Oh, I had no clue you were masking a troubled soul
    D          D           Em  D
God only knows   what went wrong
    C   Em         Am                     D           G
and why      you’d leave the stage in the middle of a song

Interlude: D  C  D  G  D  C  D

Verse:
    G                                 C       G
Now in my mind I keep you frozen as a 17-year old
Em                D                 Cadd9
Rounding third to score the winning run
G                                 C               G
You always played with passion no matter what the game
         G                  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       D
Was there anything I could have said or done?
    Bm       C                       G
Oh, I had no clue you were masking a troubled soul
    D          D           Em  D
God only knows   what went wrong
    C   G         Am                     D           Em
and why     you’d leave the stage in the middle of a song

Interlude:
   D  C  G  Em  D  C  G
   A  A  A  A   Em7  C

Verse:
        G                          C            G
Now the oak trees a-swaying in the early autumn breeze
    Em            D             Cadd9
The golden sun is shining on my face
G                           C            G
Tangled thoughts I hear the mocking bird sing
G                     D                Cadd9  G
This old world really ain’t that bad a place

Chorus:
    Bm              C
Oh, why? There’s no comprehending
    G                  D             D
And who am I to try to judge or ex - plain
    Bm            C
But I do have one burning question
    G                    D             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                  Am     D                            G     D    C
It’s just not like you to walk away in the middle of a song


                 D   G     D    C  D
Your beaut - i - ful song


     G       D    C  D           D   G
Your absolutely      beaut – i - ful song
