[Verse 1]
C
Traveling light’s how it usually goes
B
Mind open wide with heart open closed
Em
Start at the bottom, but time only knows
A
Unravel the tale of the world that I chose
C
Seek an answer in an infinite skyline
B
B promising refrain
Em A
But the meaning tends to vanish when it’s Me, Myself and I again
C B
I don’t complain about it. I just don’t have the time
Em A
Half the time, wondering whether the weather will give me some sunshine
C B
Reaching outward, for a life line, that I won’t find, in this lifetime
Em A
Descend into dystopia created in my mind
C B
Cuz it’s not fine, and it hasn’t been for a while now
Em
It feels like a struggle to smile now
A
Like is anything really worth while, how can it be?
C B7
Trial and error kinda lifestyle that I lead
Leaving me high and dry
Em A
I can smile with basically anyone, but the riddle’s in who I can frown beside
C B
My chaotic good alliance, a “forget about it” revelation
Em A
Solitary confinement in a wet and crowded station
C B7
Chase the faded light within the dark, a life inside quotation marks
Em
Maybe something’s missing in this
A
Overcast heart, I’m always...
[Chorus]
C
Reaching out, shying away
B
Don’t feel like you gotta stay
Em
Better keep it “just me”
A
It’s better that way, trust me
C B7
Despite my distorted and selfish heart
Em A
Thinking you and I could be alike so why be apart? I figure....
C
Let’s be (let’s be)
B
Lonely (lonely)
Em A
Together, till the weather clears up, that’s enough, like
C B
Hazy skyscrapers fading to the sky
Em
Sora ni kietai, side by side
A
Gotta leave it all behind
[Verse 2]
C B
B broken heart was blinded by a beautiful mind
Em A
And even IF I could rewind I think I’ll likely wind up lying in a
C B
desperate kind of silence deep inside of this soul
Em A
To where my heart is, where the darkness tends to swallow me whole, we’re told to
C
Smile for those you feel like you owe it
B
Conceal unhappiness, never show it
Em
Get into character, everyone’s watching
A
Staring, comparing there’s no sign of stopping
C B
I’m dead on my feet but I’m also dead set on not dropping
Em
But someone explain why I wish everyone would stop talking?
N.C.
Better start walking
C
If today is a day you don’t wanna pretend
B
I accept that
Em
We forget being human is never a set back
A
Staying true to yourself? Don’t regret that
C
B weakness is strength, I respect that
B
Speaking up is impossible, nobody gets that
Em A
Wanna spell it out with a melody, keep on telling myself
It’ll turn into something
C B
Burning inside as I’m learning this life is eternally searching for anyone else who
Em
Can say that they’ve “felt that.”
A
My sense of my self has me held back
C B
Continue chasing that reflection of my innermost pain
Em A
Within the weary smile of someone else I thought was the same
[Chorus]
C
Reaching out, shying away
B
Don’t feel like you gotta stay
Em
Better keep it “just me”
A
It’s better that way, trust me
C B7
Despite my distorted and selfish heart
Em A
Thinking you and I could be alike so why be apart? I figure....
C
Let’s be (let’s be)
B7
Lonely (lonely)
Em A
Together, till the weather clears up, that’s enough, like
C B7
Hazy skyscrapers fading to the sky
Em
Sora ni kietai, side by side
A
Gotta leave it all behind
[Chorus]
C
Reaching out, shying away
B
Don’t feel like you gotta stay
Em
Better keep it “just me”
A
It’s better that way, trust me
C B7
Despite my distorted and selfish heart
Em A
Really you and I are not alike, so let’s keep apart. I’ll kick it
C
Just me (just me)
B7
Lonely (lonely)
Em A C B7
Forever, cuz whenever I stop and I look in your eyes
Em A C B7 Em Am B3 B7 Em A
I realize “that you” just exists within my mind
[Outro]
C B7
I’m just a hazy skyscraper fading to the sky
Em A
Be like a hazy skyscraper fading to the sky
C B7
Forever hazy skyscrapers fading to the sky
Em A C
Hazy skyscraper... really, there’s no place I belong
