[Verse 1]
G#
Traveling light’s how it usually goes
G
Mind open wide with heart open closed
Cm
Start at the bottom, but time only knows
F
Unravel the tale of the world that I chose
G#
Seek an answer in an infinite skyline
G
G promising refrain
Cm F
But the meaning tends to vanish when it’s Me, Myself and I again
G# G
I don’t complain about it. I just don’t have the time
Cm F
Half the time, wondering whether the weather will give me some sunshine
G# G
Reaching outward, for a life line, that I won’t find, in this lifetime
Cm F
Descend into dystopia created in my mind
G# G
Cuz it’s not fine, and it hasn’t been for a while now
Cm
It feels like a struggle to smile now
F
Like is anything really worth while, how can it be?
G# G7
Trial and error kinda lifestyle that I lead
Leaving me high and dry
Cm F
I can smile with basically anyone, but the riddle’s in who I can frown beside
G# G
My chaotic good alliance, a “forget about it” revelation
Cm F
Solitary confinement in a wet and crowded station
G# G7
Chase the faded light within the dark, a life inside quotation marks
Cm
Maybe something’s missing in this
F
Overcast heart, I’m always...
[Chorus]
G#
Reaching out, shying away
G
Don’t feel like you gotta stay
Cm
Better keep it “just me”
F
It’s better that way, trust me
G# G7
Despite my distorted and selfish heart
Cm F
Thinking you and I could be alike so why be apart? I figure....
G#
Let’s be (let’s be)
G
Lonely (lonely)
Cm F
Together, till the weather clears up, that’s enough, like
G# G
Hazy skyscrapers fading to the sky
Cm
Sora ni kietai, side by side
F
Gotta leave it all behind
[Verse 2]
G# G
G broken heart was blinded by a beautiful mind
Cm F
And even IF I could rewind I think I’ll likely wind up lying in a
G# G
desperate kind of silence deep inside of this soul
Cm F
To where my heart is, where the darkness tends to swallow me whole, we’re told to
G#
Smile for those you feel like you owe it
G
Conceal unhappiness, never show it
Cm
Get into character, everyone’s watching
F
Staring, comparing there’s no sign of stopping
G# G
I’m dead on my feet but I’m also dead set on not dropping
Cm
But someone explain why I wish everyone would stop talking?
N.C.
Better start walking
G#
If today is a day you don’t wanna pretend
G
I accept that
Cm
We forget being human is never a set back
F
Staying true to yourself? Don’t regret that
G#
G weakness is strength, I respect that
G
Speaking up is impossible, nobody gets that
Cm F
Wanna spell it out with a melody, keep on telling myself
It’ll turn into something
G# G
Burning inside as I’m learning this life is eternally searching for anyone else who
Cm
Can say that they’ve “felt that.”
F
My sense of my self has me held back
G# G
Continue chasing that reflection of my innermost pain
Cm F
Within the weary smile of someone else I thought was the same
[Chorus]
G#
Reaching out, shying away
G
Don’t feel like you gotta stay
Cm
Better keep it “just me”
F
It’s better that way, trust me
G# G7
Despite my distorted and selfish heart
Cm F
Thinking you and I could be alike so why be apart? I figure....
G#
Let’s be (let’s be)
G7
Lonely (lonely)

Together, till the weather clears up, that’s enough, like
G# G7
Hazy skyscrapers fading to the sky

[Chorus]
G#
Reaching out, shying away
G
Don’t feel like you gotta stay
Cm
Better keep it “just me”
F
It’s better that way, trust me
G# G7
Despite my distorted and selfish heart
Cm F
Really you and I are not alike, so let’s keep apart. I’ll kick it
G#
Just me (just me)
G7
Lonely (lonely)
Cm F G# G7
Forever, cuz whenever I stop and I look in your eyes
Cm F G# G7 Cm Fm G3 G7 Cm F
I realize “that you” just exists within my mind
[Outro]
G# G7
I’m just a hazy skyscraper fading to the sky
Cm F
Be like a hazy skyscraper fading to the sky
G# G7
Forever hazy skyscrapers fading to the sky
Cm F G#
Hazy skyscraper... really, there’s no place I belong
