G Em Brother, always reaching far too high C G But I can see the tragic side, and it ain't easy Em And brother you won't let anybody help C Why do you sacrifice yourself? G You can't go on this way D G Tell me why, oh why? D G Why don't you open up your heart? Em Let the light from inside F Show us who you are Chorus: C And when it looks like rain. Am And when the dark clouds fill your sky F There ain't no good reason why Am You've got to feel the pain G/B C Even when it looks like rain Am Just hold your head up high F C I know the sun's gonna shine G Even when it looks like rain Hey sister, another story must be told Just count the blessings you still hold What's done is done Hey sister, you can find the one you need Don't have to live the life you lead Don't be the lonely one Tell me why, oh why?
