Biography:
Dear Evan Hansen is nothing short of a Broadway sensation. With music and lyrics written by Benji Pasek and Justin Paul and book written by Stephen Levenson, the still-running 2015 musical tells the story of a lonely young man, the epnonymous Evan Hansen (played by Ben Platt until November 2017) tells a viral lie that escalates to crippling heights and serves as a commentary on our social media obsessed culture and tendency to selfishly wear other people's tragedies.

[Intro]
D C G
D C G
[Verse 1]
Bm G
When we know something is true
D
Beyond question or doubt
Bm G
There's no particular point
D
In pointing it out
Bm G
Blue is the color of sky
D
'Cause mothers all worry
G
And old people die
Bm
A phone rings, a bee stings
D E
It's something you don't need to hear
G
It's just clear
[Chorus]
D
Why go stating the obvious?
C
It's so painfully obvious
G
How could you miss
A Bm
Something that's this plain to see
A# Am7
When it's glaring, and staring
Em A*
Right at you
D
So obviously
C G
D C G
[Verse 2]
Bm G
When you get bored you draw stars
D
On the cuffs of your jeans
Bm G
You still fill out the quizzes you find
D
In those teen magazines
Bm G
And you dance like nobody's there
Bm
Awkward and perfect
G
You don't even care
Bm D
Something courageous, amazing, contagious
E
And kind
G
All combined
[Chorus]
D
Why go stating the obvious?
C
It's so painfully obvious
G
How could you miss
A Bm
Something that's this plain to see
A# Am7
When it's glaring, and staring
Em A
Right at you
E
So obviously
[Bridge]
G
Sometimes the words
D
We tend to withhold
E G
But they're exactly the words
D
Someone needs to be told
Bm A
But oh, thinking they know
Em7
We never say "I love you
Em7
I love you
G
I love you
G
I love you."
[Chorus]
D
'Cause why go stating the obvious?
C
It's so painfully obvious
G
How could you miss
A Bm
Something that's this plain to see
A# Am7
When it's glaring, and staring
Em A*
Right at you
D
So obviously

End on D
between D and Dsus2 whenever you have to play a D.
