[Verse 1]
B
Traveling light’s how it usually goes
A#
Mind open wide with heart open closed
D#m
Start at the bottom, but time only knows
G#
Unravel the tale of the world that I chose
B
Seek an answer in an infinite skyline
A#
A# promising refrain
D#m G#
But the meaning tends to vanish when it’s Me, Myself and I again
B A#
I don’t complain about it. I just don’t have the time
D#m G#
Half the time, wondering whether the weather will give me some sunshine
B A#
Reaching outward, for a life line, that I won’t find, in this lifetime
D#m G#
Descend into dystopia created in my mind
B A#
Cuz it’s not fine, and it hasn’t been for a while now
D#m
It feels like a struggle to smile now
G#
Like is anything really worth while, how can it be?
B A#7
Trial and error kinda lifestyle that I lead
Leaving me high and dry
D#m G#
I can smile with basically anyone, but the riddle’s in who I can frown beside
B A#
My chaotic good alliance, a “forget about it” revelation
D#m G#
Solitary confinement in a wet and crowded station
B A#7
Chase the faded light within the dark, a life inside quotation marks
D#m
Maybe something’s missing in this
G#
Overcast heart, I’m always...
[Chorus]
B
Reaching out, shying away
A#
Don’t feel like you gotta stay
D#m
Better keep it “just me”
G#
It’s better that way, trust me
B A#7
Despite my distorted and selfish heart
D#m G#
Thinking you and I could be alike so why be apart? I figure....
B
Let’s be (let’s be)
A#
Lonely (lonely)
D#m G#
Together, till the weather clears up, that’s enough, like
B A#
Hazy skyscrapers fading to the sky
D#m
Sora ni kietai, side by side
G#
Gotta leave it all behind
[Verse 2]
B A#
A# broken heart was blinded by a beautiful mind
D#m G#
And even IF I could rewind I think I’ll likely wind up lying in a
B A#
desperate kind of silence deep inside of this soul
D#m G#
To where my heart is, where the darkness tends to swallow me whole, we’re told to
B
Smile for those you feel like you owe it
A#
Conceal unhappiness, never show it
D#m
Get into character, everyone’s watching
G#
Staring, comparing there’s no sign of stopping
B A#
I’m dead on my feet but I’m also dead set on not dropping
D#m
But someone explain why I wish everyone would stop talking?
N.C.
Better start walking
B
If today is a day you don’t wanna pretend
A#
I accept that
D#m
We forget being human is never a set back
G#
Staying true to yourself? Don’t regret that
B
A# weakness is strength, I respect that
A#
Speaking up is impossible, nobody gets that
D#m G#
Wanna spell it out with a melody, keep on telling myself
It’ll turn into something
B A#
Burning inside as I’m learning this life is eternally searching for anyone else who
D#m
Can say that they’ve “felt that.”
G#
My sense of my self has me held back
B A#
Continue chasing that reflection of my innermost pain
D#m G#
Within the weary smile of someone else I thought was the same
[Chorus]
B
Reaching out, shying away
A#
Don’t feel like you gotta stay
D#m
Better keep it “just me”
G#
It’s better that way, trust me
B A#7
Despite my distorted and selfish heart
D#m G#
Thinking you and I could be alike so why be apart? I figure....
B
Let’s be (let’s be)
A#7
Lonely (lonely)
D#m G#
Together, till the weather clears up, that’s enough, like
B A#7
Hazy skyscrapers fading to the sky
D#m
Sora ni kietai, side by side
G#
Gotta leave it all behind
[Chorus]
B
Reaching out, shying away
A#
Don’t feel like you gotta stay
D#m
Better keep it “just me”
G#
It’s better that way, trust me
B A#7
Despite my distorted and selfish heart
D#m G#
Really you and I are not alike, so let’s keep apart. I’ll kick it
B
Just me (just me)
A#7
Lonely (lonely)
D#m G# B A#7
Forever, cuz whenever I stop and I look in your eyes
D#m G# B A#7 D#m G#m A#3 A#7 D#m G#
I realize “that you” just exists within my mind
[Outro]
B A#7
I’m just a hazy skyscraper fading to the sky
D#m G#
Be like a hazy skyscraper fading to the sky
B A#7
Forever hazy skyscrapers fading to the sky
D#m G# B
Hazy skyscraper... really, there’s no place I belong
