[Verse 1]
F
Traveling light’s how it usually goes
E
Mind open wide with heart open closed
Am
Start at the bottom, but time only knows
D
Unravel the tale of the world that I chose
F
Seek an answer in an infinite skyline
E
E promising refrain
Am D
But the meaning tends to vanish when it’s Me, Myself and I again
F E
I don’t complain about it. I just don’t have the time
Am D
Half the time, wondering whether the weather will give me some sunshine
F E
Reaching outward, for a life line, that I won’t find, in this lifetime
Am D
Descend into dystopia created in my mind
F E
Cuz it’s not fine, and it hasn’t been for a while now
Am
It feels like a struggle to smile now
D
Like is anything really worth while, how can it be?
F E7
Trial and error kinda lifestyle that I lead
Leaving me high and dry
Am D
I can smile with basically anyone, but the riddle’s in who I can frown beside
F E
My chaotic good alliance, a “forget about it” revelation
Am D
Solitary confinement in a wet and crowded station
F E7
Chase the faded light within the dark, a life inside quotation marks
Am
Maybe something’s missing in this
D
Overcast heart, I’m always...
[Chorus]
F
Reaching out, shying away
E
Don’t feel like you gotta stay
Am
Better keep it “just me”
D
It’s better that way, trust me
F E7
Despite my distorted and selfish heart
Am D
Thinking you and I could be alike so why be apart? I figure....
F
Let’s be (let’s be)
E
Lonely (lonely)
Am D
Together, till the weather clears up, that’s enough, like
F E
Hazy skyscrapers fading to the sky
Am
Sora ni kietai, side by side
D
Gotta leave it all behind
[Verse 2]
F E
E broken heart was blinded by a beautiful mind
Am D
And even IF I could rewind I think I’ll likely wind up lying in a
F E
desperate kind of silence deep inside of this soul
Am D
To where my heart is, where the darkness tends to swallow me whole, we’re told to
F
Smile for those you feel like you owe it
E
Conceal unhappiness, never show it
Am
Get into character, everyone’s watching
D
Staring, comparing there’s no sign of stopping
F E
I’m dead on my feet but I’m also dead set on not dropping
Am
But someone explain why I wish everyone would stop talking?
N.C.
Better start walking
F
If today is a day you don’t wanna pretend
E
I accept that
Am
We forget being human is never a set back
D
Staying true to yourself? Don’t regret that
F
E weakness is strength, I respect that
E
Speaking up is impossible, nobody gets that
Am D
Wanna spell it out with a melody, keep on telling myself
It’ll turn into something
F E
Burning inside as I’m learning this life is eternally searching for anyone else who
Am
Can say that they’ve “felt that.”
D
My sense of my self has me held back
F E
Continue chasing that reflection of my innermost pain
Am D
Within the weary smile of someone else I thought was the same
[Chorus]
F
Reaching out, shying away
E
Don’t feel like you gotta stay
Am
Better keep it “just me”
D
It’s better that way, trust me
F E7
Despite my distorted and selfish heart
Am D
Thinking you and I could be alike so why be apart? I figure....
F
Let’s be (let’s be)
E7
Lonely (lonely)
Am D
Together, till the weather clears up, that’s enough, like
F E7
Hazy skyscrapers fading to the sky
Am
Sora ni kietai, side by side
D
Gotta leave it all behind
[Chorus]
F
Reaching out, shying away
E
Don’t feel like you gotta stay
Am
Better keep it “just me”
D
It’s better that way, trust me
F E7
Despite my distorted and selfish heart
Am D
Really you and I are not alike, so let’s keep apart. I’ll kick it
F
Just me (just me)
E7
Lonely (lonely)
Am D F E7
Forever, cuz whenever I stop and I look in your eyes
Am D F E7 Am Dm E3 E7 Am D
I realize “that you” just exists within my mind
[Outro]
F E7
I’m just a hazy skyscraper fading to the sky
Am D
Be like a hazy skyscraper fading to the sky
F E7
Forever hazy skyscrapers fading to the sky
Am D F
Hazy skyscraper... really, there’s no place I belong
