Title:
“Shattered Skylines”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[D] Gazing at the shattered [G] skylines,
[A] Whispering secrets in the [Bm] dead of night.
[D] Tattered dreams and broken [G] wine glasses,
[A] Remnants of love lost in [Bm] moonlight.

(Chorus)
[G] Oh, shattered skylines, [D] where did we go wrong?
[A] Caught in the whirlwind, [Bm] lost in our song.
[G] If only we could rewrite the [D] stars,
[A] Maybe we wouldn’t be so [Bm] far…

(Verse 2)
[D] Walking through the streets of [G] yesterday,
[A] Echoes of laughter, [Bm] washed away.
[D] Memories etched in the shadows, [G]
[A] A love story ending in [Bm] disarray.

(Repeat Chorus)

[Bridge]
[G] Under the shattered skylines, [D] we swore forever,
[A] But promises fade, just like [Bm] weather.
[G] Now all we have are these [D] broken lines,
[A] Underneath the shattered [Bm] skylines.

(Repeat Chorus)

(Outro)
[D] Shattered skylines, [G] shattered dreams,
[A] Nothing’s ever really what it [Bm] seems.
[D] Yet, in every broken piece [G],
[A] I still see you and [Bm] me.
