[Verse 1]
A#
Traveling light’s how it usually goes
A
Mind open wide with heart open closed
Dm
Start at the bottom, but time only knows
G
Unravel the tale of the world that I chose
A#
Seek an answer in an infinite skyline
A
A promising refrain
Dm G
But the meaning tends to vanish when it’s Me, Myself and I again
A# A
I don’t complain about it. I just don’t have the time
Dm G
Half the time, wondering whether the weather will give me some sunshine
A# A
Reaching outward, for a life line, that I won’t find, in this lifetime
Dm G
Descend into dystopia created in my mind
A# A
Cuz it’s not fine, and it hasn’t been for a while now
Dm
It feels like a struggle to smile now
G
Like is anything really worth while, how can it be?
A# A7
Trial and error kinda lifestyle that I lead
Leaving me high and dry
Dm G
I can smile with basically anyone, but the riddle’s in who I can frown beside
A# A
My chaotic good alliance, a “forget about it” revelation
Dm G
Solitary confinement in a wet and crowded station
A# A7
Chase the faded light within the dark, a life inside quotation marks
Dm
Maybe something’s missing in this
G
Overcast heart, I’m always...
[Chorus]
A#
Reaching out, shying away
A
Don’t feel like you gotta stay
Dm
Better keep it “just me”
G
It’s better that way, trust me
A# A7
Despite my distorted and selfish heart
Dm G
Thinking you and I could be alike so why be apart? I figure....
A#
Let’s be (let’s be)
A
Lonely (lonely)
Dm G
Together, till the weather clears up, that’s enough, like
A# A
Hazy skyscrapers fading to the sky
Dm
Sora ni kietai, side by side
G
Gotta leave it all behind
[Verse 2]
A# A
A broken heart was blinded by a beautiful mind
Dm G
And even IF I could rewind I think I’ll likely wind up lying in a
A# A
desperate kind of silence deep inside of this soul
Dm G
To where my heart is, where the darkness tends to swallow me whole, we’re told to
A#
Smile for those you feel like you owe it
A
Conceal unhappiness, never show it
Dm
Get into character, everyone’s watching
G
Staring, comparing there’s no sign of stopping
A# A
I’m dead on my feet but I’m also dead set on not dropping
Dm
But someone explain why I wish everyone would stop talking?
N.C.
Better start walking
A#
If today is a day you don’t wanna pretend
A
I accept that
Dm
We forget being human is never a set back
G
Staying true to yourself? Don’t regret that
A#
A weakness is strength, I respect that
A
Speaking up is impossible, nobody gets that
Dm G
Wanna spell it out with a melody, keep on telling myself
It’ll turn into something
A# A
Burning inside as I’m learning this life is eternally searching for anyone else who
Dm
Can say that they’ve “felt that.”
G
My sense of my self has me held back
A# A
Continue chasing that reflection of my innermost pain
Dm G
Within the weary smile of someone else I thought was the same
[Chorus]
A#
Reaching out, shying away
A
Don’t feel like you gotta stay
Dm
Better keep it “just me”
G
It’s better that way, trust me
A# A7
Despite my distorted and selfish heart
Dm G
Thinking you and I could be alike so why be apart? I figure....
A#
Let’s be (let’s be)
A7
Lonely (lonely)
Dm G
Together, till the weather clears up, that’s enough, like
A# A7
Hazy skyscrapers fading to the sky
Dm
Sora ni kietai, side by side
G
Gotta leave it all behind
[Chorus]
A#
Reaching out, shying away
A
Don’t feel like you gotta stay
Dm
Better keep it “just me”
G
It’s better that way, trust me
A# A7
Despite my distorted and selfish heart
Dm G
Really you and I are not alike, so let’s keep apart. I’ll kick it
A#
Just me (just me)
A7
Lonely (lonely)
Dm G A# A7
Forever, cuz whenever I stop and I look in your eyes
Dm G A# A7 Dm Gm A3 A7 Dm G
I realize “that you” just exists within my mind
[Outro]
A# A7
I’m just a hazy skyscraper fading to the sky
Dm G
Be like a hazy skyscraper fading to the sky
A# A7
Forever hazy skyscrapers fading to the sky
Dm G A#
Hazy skyscraper... really, there’s no place I belong
