Eb7MFBb7M
We'd run right through those nights
Gm7
I'll never find my way back to you inside this labyrinth of lights
Eb7M
There was madness in the meaning
FBb7M
Never laughless, we were screaming at the top of our lungs to the numbness
Gm7
This city never died
Eb7MF
I'll fly, no proof
Bb7MGm7
Those heights, I'll never find another chance to say "Hey, thanks for saving my
Life"
Eb7M
I was hopeless, it was stinging
FBb7M
Running roadless, we were singing at the top of our lungs to the numbness
Gm7
This city never died
[Primera Parte]
Eb7M
What was the root of it all? I couldn't say
F
Used to jump and then fall, rugged and clichéd
Bb7M
Would shrug it off without complaint, not a sound
Gm7
No use in trying to find friends, 'cause in the end nobody sticks around
Eb7M
It's when you shoved yourself into a crowded place that you
F
Turned around and found yourself in love in outer space
Bb7M
Cue the reckless nights, no strings, laughing at our own dreams
Gm7
Just what the hell was so funny?
Eb7M
Bark up the wrong tree, stumble, used to falling great heights
F
Amidst a concrete jungle, singing 'cause it felt right
Bb7M
We mixed the ennui and troubles, rhyming our discontent
Gm7
And though it's history, I can't forget the time that we spent
Eb7M
Convinced that this could mean another end exists between real and pretend
F
A twisted alter-fiction where I missed my chance, did not ascend, and
Bb7MGm7
Disappearing into the mist of "never happened" is the me that I can never befriend
Eb7M
I let it go
[Pre-Estribillo]
F
Fade in, fade out
Bb7M
This crazy dream
Gm7Eb7M
Without a direction, floating aimlessly
F
There's nothing left
Bb7M
Back there for me
Gm7
Breathe in, but it won't stop the rain from pouring
[Estribillo]

We'd run right through those nights
Gm7
I'll never find my way back to you inside this labyrinth of lights
Eb7M
There was madness in the meaning
FBb7M
Never laughless, we were screaming at the top of our lungs to the numbness
Gm7
This city never died
Eb7M
But was there ever a soul inside?
[Segunda Parte]
F
Chasing fireflies between the soaring high-rises
Bb7M
Left a trail behind, defined it "wasted time of our lives"
Bb7M
Silent singer, overworked and underpaid
Gm7
Thinks an office is a coffin until off is where you're laid
Eb7M
Yet a thought persists, an optimist who ought to be afraid
F
Saw the "nothing wrong" in writing songs behind the lonely shade
Bb7M
Is the world a sadder place without the words that you conveyed?
Gm7
When the ladder fell and shattered every bar that we had played?
Eb7M
Does it matter in the end the sound diminished and decayed
F
And your friends grew tired of fantasy; you're wishing they had stayed?
Bb7M
You don't get to say "I miss you," you watched your heroes fade
Gm7
Into the rear-view mirror of the villain you portrayed
Eb7M
Stop the pity party, listen, you don't get to be dismayed
F
You don't get to be emotional, feel blessed you got it made
Bb7M
These the best of years of life because you chose to make a trade
Gm7
Recollect the days you hoped and you prayed for this
Eb7M
What is there to miss?
[Pre-Estribillo]
F
Fade in, fade out
Bb7M
This hazy dream
Gm7Eb7M
Without a direction, roaming aimlessly
F
There's nothing left
Bb7M
Back there for me
Gm7
Pretend it's the end of a made-up story
[Estribillo]
Eb7MF
I'll fly, no proof
Bb7MGm7
Those heights, I'll never find another chance to say "Hey, thanks for saving my
Life"
Eb7M
I was hopeless, it was stinging
FBb7M
Driving roadless, we were singing at the top of our lungs to the numbness
Gm7
This city never died
Eb7M
I'll say goodbye to the soul inside
[Puente]
Eb7M
(And yet somehow, there was romance
F
In our self-hate, "we've got no chance"
Bb7M
In this light maze, but let's hold hands
Gm7
Through the night haze, we'll run so fast
Eb7M
'Til the school chime, 'til the train runs
F
We know it's time, we're the sane ones
Bb7M
Waking up now, to the "real life"
Gm7
Let me daydream, 'til the next night)
Eb7MF
I'll keep waiting
Bb7MGm7
I'll keep waiting for you
[Interludio] Eb7MFBb7MGm7Eb7MFBb7MGm7
[Final]
Eb7M
Waking up now, to my real life
F
Let me daydream, 'til the next flight
Bb7M
Drowning so long, I got older
Gm7
Now the crowd's gone, is it over?
N.c
Is it over?
