Am Dm G C
“Every time it rains I feel my heart begin to ache again but why oh why is that so?”
Am Dm F G C
“When spring turns into summer I can feel my heart turn colder but then why, oh why is that so?”
Am Dm G C
“When I hear the slightest bit of laughter at the things I do I cry, but why is that so?”
Am Dm F G C
Even though I’m acting so pathetic, will I find somebody sympathetic? Who knows
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Em F
The word goodbye still fresh in my mind
G Am
It tears my heart out slowly inside
Em F G
The red and pinks that fill up the sky, they set me aglow
Em
Not knowing where I should go
[Chorus 1]
F G
Counselor, could you give me some advice?
Em Am
What am I supposed to do with the rest of my life?
F G Am Em
Are you just gonna tell me “everything will be alright”, like I’ll believe that lie? Ah
F G
It’s not like I don’t want to live another day
Em Am
I just wanna live without feeling any pain
F G C
Looking at the sky, my only wish, is it really truly selfish?
Am G C
Am G C
Am G C
Am F C
[Verse 2]
Am Dm G C
“Every time I lie, it always hurts me deep inside but I still do it, why is that so?”
Am Dm F G C
“The bad will always prosper while the good will always suffer too but why oh why is that so?”
Am Dm G C
“Money can’t buy happiness but happiness costs money, could you tell me why is that so?”
Am Dm F G C
Did we ever realise we bought into this system? And whatever they say goes
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Em F
The price of ignorance these days
G Am
Is so much more than what we can pay
Em F G
If only life was just a film, directed by him...
Em
Then maybe I’d feel something.
[Chorus 2]
F G
Counselor, I don’t think that I can live this way.
Em Am
Living on like this only causes me pain
F G Am Em
Even the greats couldn’t find a way to fill this hole or make it go away, ah!
F G
All I ever wanted to do is close my eyes
Em Am
Reaching out my fingertips to the summer skies
F G C
Living in the past, my only wish, is it really truly selfish?
Am F Am F
Am F Am F
[Bridge]
F G Em Am
A piece devoid of death or any tragedy in it… it won’t sell very well I know
F G Am Em
The fact that humans can draw a price on petals that fall, is nothing safe from them anymore
F G C
Did you have dreams when you were younger, counselor?
F G C
Was it something that you had to throw away when you got older?
[Chorus 3]
F G
Counselor, could you give me some advice?
Em Am
What am I supposed to do with the rest of my life?
F G Am Em
Saying that I’ll come out stronger after crying’s really such a bullshit lie, ah!
F G
It’s not that I don’t care to live another day
Em Am
Reality’s just harder to discern out these days
F G
And summer’s just so far away… ah!
F G
So tell me is this really all alright?
Em Am
Can we live like this for the rest of our life?
F G Am Em
Don’t you dare tell me that “it’s something only you can make the answer to” alright!?! ah!
F G
Just let me close my eyes, breathe in the summer breeze
Em Am
Let me feel the wind forever on my cheeks
F G Am
Looking at the sky my only wish, is it really truly selfish?
F G C
Better knowing you my only wish, is it really truly selfish?
Am G C
Am G C
Am G C
Am F C
