Leaving tap water out will allow volatile chemicals (such as chlorine) to evaporate. Chlorine is what typically gives tap water it's unpleasant flavor.
This process works both directions. If you leave the water in a space that has an unpleasant odor (such as your refrigerator, if it hasn't been cleaned recently), the water can pick up the odor as well, giving it an unpleasant taste.

Hmmm...I was thinking the same thing about a glass of wine not too long ago. LOL
My guess is that it has something to due with the chemicals in the water and the process of evaporation.
I usually don't drink my tap water because I don't like the taste; however if I leave it in the refrigerator it becomes more palatable.
So a second guess would be that it has something to do with the temperature of the water.
