Why — Visual Piano Sheet Music
"Why" in visual bar notation — see every note as a colored bar on the staff. Easier to read than traditional sheet music. Scrolls automatically as you play. Key of G, 120 BPM.
Tip: Use the speed control to practice at 70% tempo first. Focus on tricky chord transitions before attempting the full arrangement.
Lyrics
You (G)must ’ve been in a place so dark (D)zen
you could n’t feel teen the light
(Em7)reach in’ for you through that storm y (C)cloud.
Now (G)here we are gath pas ered
in our (C)lit tle home town.
(G)game.
This (G)can’t be the way you meant just to draw a crowd.
Oh, (Bm7)why?
That’s what (C)I
keep ask ing.
Was there (G)an y thing
I could have (D)said or done?
Oh, (Bm7)I
had no clue
you were mask ing
a (G)trou bled soul.
God on (D)ly knows
what went (Em)wrong
and why
you would (Am7)leave the stage in the (D7sus)mid dle of a song.
Now (G)in my mind in I’ll keep you fro (D)zen
as a sev en teen year old,
(Em7)round ing third to score the win ning (C)run.
You (G)al ways played with pas sion
in no (C)mat ter what the (G)game.
When (G)you took the stage, you’d shine just to like the sun.
Oh, (Bm7)why?
That’s what (C)I
keep ask ing.
Was there (G)an y thing
I could have (D)said or done?
Oh, (Bm7)I
had no clue
you were mask ing
a (G)trou bled soul.
God on (D)ly knows
what went (Em)wrong
and why
you would (Am7)leave the stage in the (D7sus)mid dle of a song.
Now (D)mid dle of a song.
Now the (G)oak trees are sway in’
in the (C)ear ly au tumn breeze,
a (Em)gold en sun is shin in’ on my (C)face.
Through (G)tan gled thoughts I hear
a (C)mock ing bird sing.
(G)This old world real ly ain’t that bad a place.
(G)Oh, (Bm7)why?
There’s no (C)com
pre hend ing
and (G)who am I
to try to (D)judge or ex plain?
Oh, but (Bm7)I
do have one burn
ing ques tion:
Who (G)told you life
was n’t worth the fight?
They were wrong.
They (C)lied.
Now you’re (Em)gone
and we (C)cry
’cause (G)it’s not like you
to (D7sus)walk a way in the mid dle
of a (G5)song
your beau ti ful
song.
Your (G)ab so lute ly
beau
ti ful
song.
