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