[Verse 1]
D#
Traveling light’s how it usually goes
D
Mind open wide with heart open closed
Gm
Start at the bottom, but time only knows
C
Unravel the tale of the world that I chose
D#
Seek an answer in an infinite skyline
D
D promising refrain
Gm C
But the meaning tends to vanish when it’s Me, Myself and I again
D# D
I don’t complain about it. I just don’t have the time
Gm C
Half the time, wondering whether the weather will give me some sunshine
D# D
Reaching outward, for a life line, that I won’t find, in this lifetime
Gm C
Descend into dystopia created in my mind
D# D
Cuz it’s not fine, and it hasn’t been for a while now
Gm
It feels like a struggle to smile now
C
Like is anything really worth while, how can it be?
D# D7
Trial and error kinda lifestyle that I lead
Leaving me high and dry
Gm C
I can smile with basically anyone, but the riddle’s in who I can frown beside
D# D
My chaotic good alliance, a “forget about it” revelation
Gm C
Solitary confinement in a wet and crowded station
D# D7
Chase the faded light within the dark, a life inside quotation marks
Gm
Maybe something’s missing in this
C
Overcast heart, I’m always...
[Chorus]
D#
Reaching out, shying away
D
Don’t feel like you gotta stay
Gm
Better keep it “just me”
C
It’s better that way, trust me
D# D7
Despite my distorted and selfish heart
Gm C
Thinking you and I could be alike so why be apart? I figure....
D#
Let’s be (let’s be)
D
Lonely (lonely)
Gm C
Together, till the weather clears up, that’s enough, like
D# D
Hazy skyscrapers fading to the sky
Gm
Sora ni kietai, side by side
C
Gotta leave it all behind
[Verse 2]
D# D
D broken heart was blinded by a beautiful mind
Gm C
And even IF I could rewind I think I’ll likely wind up lying in a
D# D
desperate kind of silence deep inside of this soul
Gm C
To where my heart is, where the darkness tends to swallow me whole, we’re told to
D#
Smile for those you feel like you owe it
D
Conceal unhappiness, never show it
Gm
Get into character, everyone’s watching
C
Staring, comparing there’s no sign of stopping
D# D
I’m dead on my feet but I’m also dead set on not dropping
Gm
But someone explain why I wish everyone would stop talking?
N.C.
Better start walking
D#
If today is a day you don’t wanna pretend
D
I accept that
Gm
We forget being human is never a set back
C
Staying true to yourself? Don’t regret that
D#
D weakness is strength, I respect that
D
Speaking up is impossible, nobody gets that
Gm C
Wanna spell it out with a melody, keep on telling myself
It’ll turn into something
D# D
Burning inside as I’m learning this life is eternally searching for anyone else who
Gm
Can say that they’ve “felt that.”
C
My sense of my self has me held back
D# D
Continue chasing that reflection of my innermost pain
Gm C
Within the weary smile of someone else I thought was the same
[Chorus]
D#
Reaching out, shying away
D
Don’t feel like you gotta stay
Gm
Better keep it “just me”
C
It’s better that way, trust me
D# D7
Despite my distorted and selfish heart
Gm C
Thinking you and I could be alike so why be apart? I figure....
D#
Let’s be (let’s be)
D7
Lonely (lonely)
Gm C
Together, till the weather clears up, that’s enough, like
D# D7
Hazy skyscrapers fading to the sky
Gm
Sora ni kietai, side by side
C
Gotta leave it all behind
[Chorus]
D#
Reaching out, shying away
D
Don’t feel like you gotta stay
Gm
Better keep it “just me”
C
It’s better that way, trust me
D# D7
Despite my distorted and selfish heart
Gm C
Really you and I are not alike, so let’s keep apart. I’ll kick it
D#
Just me (just me)
D7
Lonely (lonely)
Gm C D# D7
Forever, cuz whenever I stop and I look in your eyes
Gm C D# D7 Gm Cm D3 D7 Gm C
I realize “that you” just exists within my mind
[Outro]
D# D7
I’m just a hazy skyscraper fading to the sky
Gm C
Be like a hazy skyscraper fading to the sky
D# D7
Forever hazy skyscrapers fading to the sky
Gm C D#
Hazy skyscraper... really, there’s no place I belong
