G#m                  F#                 C#m
I pick the paper up, God got another one
 G#m                   F#                    C#m
It makes me wonder if what I do is not enough, ooh
G#m                F#
Lump in my throat, took the high road
           C#m
Easy to be brave when the road's already paved
G#m                         F#                         C#m
Sometimes I only see what's standin' right in front of me, no


[Pre-Chorus 1]
G#m                         C#m
  Wanna believe in something bigger
G#m            C#            C#m
 Can't always see the bigger picture


[Chorus 1]
D#           E                        B
Can you tell me why the good die young?
               F#               C#m
Where do they go? Why do they leave us
              E                  B
When there's so much more to be done?
            F#               C#m
And do they know how much we need 'em?
         E                         B
Can you tell me why the good die young?
      F#      C#m
Oh-oh-ooh-oh
        E                         B
Can you tell me why the good die young?
         F#     G
Woah-oh-ooh-oh


[Verse 2]
  G#m                    F#                     C#m
A whole nation with heavy hearts in their chests
 G#m                                    F#    C#m
Nobody's got the words, but we're so afraid of the silence


[Pre-Chorus 1]
G#                          C#m     C#      G#
 Wanna believe in something bigger (oh noo)
F#                          C#m
Can't always see the bigger picture


[Chorus 1]
D#           E                        B
Can you tell me why the good die young?
               F#               C#m
Where do they go? Why do they leave us
              E                  B
When there's so much more to be done?
            F#               C#m
And do they know how much we need 'em?
         E                         B
Can you tell me why the good die young?
      F#      C#m
Oh-oh-ooh-oh
        E                         B
Can you tell me why the good die young?
         F#
Woah-oh-ooh-oh


[Bridge]
C#m                           G#m
 People dying, I'm not crying for attention
                                       F#
I want change (I want change, I want change)
            F#
What does it take for us to wake up?

We gotta learn to love again (love again, love again)
C#m
If this is a lesson
G#m
Then I don't think I get it
F#
No, I don't think I get it


[Pre-Chorus 2]
 E                              B
Can you tell me why the good die young?
   F#                            C#m
Where do they go? Why do they leave us
           E                B
When there's so much more to be done?
        F#
And do they know, oh!


[Chorus 2]
                 E                B
Can you tell me why the good die young?
F# C#m  E
 Oh    yeah
B        F#       C#m              E
Can you tell me, can anybody tell me
           B              F#     C#m
Why the good die young? Oh-oh-ooh-oh
E               B                  F#      C#m   E
Why do the good, why do the good die young, oh yeah
    B
Oh, there's so much more
 F#            C#m
So much more work to be done
 B  F#
Oh,    no no no no
B F#
