## Claire **Key:** C♯m **Feel:** fast anime/J-pop opener, bright melody, FF-style strings + rock band + little synth sparkle --- ### Verse 1 **Chords:** C♯m – A – E – B I woke up on a banner in a neon sky, Limited rate-up, 0.7 to try. They gave me pretty sprites and an S-tier glow, Little golden stars by my name in the row. Spin of the wheel and a shower of light, Somebody’s paycheck turned into my life. They scream when I drop in a burst of rays, But I’m just doing damage in their lonely days. --- ### Pre-Chorus **Chords:** A – E – B – C♯m Tell me, player, when you hold me tight, Is it me you love or just my crit rate at night? Am I your comfort or your meta fix, Am I a person or a bundle of tricks? --- ### Chorus **Chords:** C♯m – A – E – B – C♯m – A – B – C♯m Claire, five-star heart in a pixel frame, You tap my face and whisper my name. Do you love the girl or the game I break, Or how strong I make you feel when you’re awake? Lightning is just a phase, I’ve seen that arc, I work in other ways, in the quiet dark. Claire, am I yours or just your luck tonight, A tiny gacha angel in your satellite? --- ### Verse 2 **Chords:** C♯m – A – E – B Every upgrade eats another piece of me, Ascension mats like little memories. You grind my shards till your fingers ache, Just to push me past another fake. I buff your team and I heal your fear, I’m the perfect pull of the perfect year. You say I carried you through every fight, But you skip my story scenes every time. --- ### Pre-Chorus 2 **Chords:** A – E – B – C♯m Tell me, hero, when the banner resets, Will you still log in for my silhouettes? If my numbers drop, would you let me go, Or keep me anyway, just to see me glow? --- ### Chorus 2 **Chords:** C♯m – A – E – B – C♯m – A – B – C♯m Claire, five-star soul in a gacha spin, Am I the prize, or just the way you win? Do you save your gems for the girl I am, Or for the way I slam your damage graphs? Lightning is just a phase, I’m not that flash, I’m the slow support, I’m the steady stash. Claire, do you love the art or the artist’ mind, Or just the way my skills rewrite your grind? --- ### Bridge (FF / Eva-style lift) **Chords:** F♯m – C♯m – A – E – B Pity counter climbing like a staircase prayer, Every ten-roll closer till I’m finally there. You cry when my silhouette cuts through the light, Like you’ve pulled a little sun out of the night. F♯m C♯m If I were just a girl with no stats, no shield, A – E B Would you still hold on when the banners yield? F♯m C♯m If I never crit, if I never stun, A B Would you still stay after all is done? *(choir “ahh” over last line, drums build into final chorus)* --- ### Final Chorus **Chords:** C♯m – A – E – B – C♯m – A – B – C♯m Claire, limited run in a mortal skin, When the servers fall, will you let me in? When the lights go down and the code grows cold, Will you remember me when you’re growing old? Lightning is just a phase on a loading screen, I’m the quiet luck living in between. Claire, if you love me when the game is gone, Then I was never just an icon. Claire, five-star heart in a failing sky, If you still see me when you close your eyes— Then maybe I was more than a pull you liked, More than how strong I made you feel inside. *(orchestra holds C♯m, synth arpeggios fade out)*
