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