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

Together, till the weather clears up, that’s enough, like

[Chorus]
D
Reaching out, shying away
C#
Don’t feel like you gotta stay
F#m
Better keep it “just me”
B
It’s better that way, trust me
D C#7
Despite my distorted and selfish heart
F#m B
Really you and I are not alike, so let’s keep apart. I’ll kick it
D
Just me (just me)
C#7
Lonely (lonely)
F#m B D C#7
Forever, cuz whenever I stop and I look in your eyes
F#m B D C#7 F#m Bm C#3 C#7 F#m B
I realize “that you” just exists within my mind
[Outro]
D C#7
I’m just a hazy skyscraper fading to the sky
F#m B
Be like a hazy skyscraper fading to the sky
D C#7
Forever hazy skyscrapers fading to the sky
F#m B D
Hazy skyscraper... really, there’s no place I belong
