 Am                            Dm 
“Every time it rains I feel my 
                           G       
heart begin to ache again but why 
           C
oh why is that so?”
      Am                           
“When spring turns into summer I 
  Dm                             
can feel my heart turn colder but 
    F       G           C
then why, oh why is that so?”
 Am                               
“When I hear the slightest bit of 
Dm                            G  
laughter at the things I do I 
                  C
cry, but why is that so?”
Am                           Dm  
Even though I’m acting so 
                        F    
pathetic, will I find somebody 
G           C
sympathetic? Who knows

[Pre-Chorus 1]
             Em                    
The word goodbye still fresh in my 
F
mind
            G                  Am
It tears my heart out slowly inside
            Em                     
The red and pinks that fill up the 
F                 G
sky, they set me aglow
    Em
Not knowing where I should go

[Chorus 1]
           F                     
Counselor, could you give me some 
   G
advice?
                      Em         
What am I supposed to do with the 
            Am
rest of my life?
             F            
Are you just gonna tell me 
                  G                
“everything will be alright”, like 
        Am                Em
I’ll believe that lie? Ah
                F                  
It’s not like I don’t want to live 
        G
another day
             Em                  
I just wanna live without feeling 
     Am
any pain
               F                   
Looking at the sky, my only wish, 
     G                 C
is it really truly selfish?
Am   G C
Am   G C
Am   G C
Am   F C

 Am                          Dm   
“Every time I lie, it always hurts
                            G      
 me deep inside but I still do it, 
            C
why is that so?”
     Am                            
“The bad will always prosper while 
    Dm                             
the good will always suffer too but
 F      G           C
 why oh why is that so?”
 Am                           
“Money can’t buy happiness but 
 Dm                             
happiness costs money, could you 
  G                   C
tell me why is that so?”
Am                     Dm        
Did we ever realise we bought 
                       F    G     
into this system? And whatever 
   C
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   
If only life was just a film, 
              G
directed by him...
     Em
Then maybe I’d feel something.

[Chorus 2]
             F                     
Counselor, I don’t think that I can
           G
 live this way.
               Em                  
Living on like this only causes me 
Am
pain
         F                         
Even the greats couldn’t find a way
    G                         
 to fill this hole or make it go 
Am         Em
away, ah!
           F                       
All I ever wanted to do is close my
 G
 eyes
                Em               
Reaching out my fingertips to the 
        Am
summer skies
              F                    
Living in the past, my only wish, 
     G                 C
is it really truly selfish?
Am   F   Am   F
Am   F   Am   F

[Bridge]
          F                   
A piece devoid of death or any 
 G                 Em             
tragedy in it… it won’t sell very 
        Am
well I know
              F                
The fact that humans can draw a 
          G                  
price on petals that fall, is 
          Am                  Em
nothing safe from them anymore
    F                             
Did you have dreams when you were 
G              C
younger, counselor?
                 F              
Was it something that you had to 
                 G          C
throw away when you got older?

[Chorus 3]
           F                     
Counselor, could you give me some 
   G
advice?
                      Em         
What am I supposed to do with the 
            Am
rest of my life?
                 F                 
Saying that I’ll come out stronger 
      G                     
after crying’s really such a 
 Am              Em
bullshit lie, ah!
                F                  
It’s not that I don’t care to live 
        G
another day
               Em                  
Reality’s just harder to discern 
        Am
out these days
                     F           G
And summer’s just so far away… ah!
           F                 
So tell me is this really all 
   G
alright?
                 Em                
Can we live like this for the rest 
       Am
of our life?
          F                      
Don’t you dare tell me that “it’s 
           G                    
something only  you can make the 
  Am                     Em
answer to” alright!?! ah!
                     F             
Just let me close my eyes, breathe 
              G
in the summer breeze
                Em                 
Let me feel the wind forever on my 
Am
cheeks
               F                   
Looking at the sky my only wish, is
    G                 Am
 it really truly selfish?
               F                   
Better knowing you my only wish, is
    G                 C
 it really truly selfish?
