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