 Intro:     G     C     Em     D


             G           C
 Skies are crying, I am watching
           Em               D
 Catching teardrops in my hands
       G               C
 Only silence as it's ending
         Em            D
 Like we never had a chance
         Em               C
 Do you have to make me feel like
          G               D
 There's nothing left of me ?


              G             C
 You can take everything I have
               Em            D
 You can break everything I am
                    G     C
 Like I'm made of glass
                  Em      D
 Like I'm made of paper
            Em             C
 Go on and try to tear me down
            G                 D
 I will be rising from the ground
             Em     C
 Like a skyscraper
              G     D
 Like a skyscraper


          G               C
 As the smoke clears, I awaken
        Em             D
 And untangle you from me
           G             C
 Would it make you feel better
     Em                D
 To watch me while I bleed ?
         Em                 C
 All my windows still are broken
           G             D
 But I'm standing on my feet


              G             C
 You can take everything I have
               Em            D
 You can break everything I am
                    G     C
 Like I'm made of glass
                  Em      D
 Like I'm made of paper
            Em             C
 Go on and try to tear me down
            G                 D
 I will be rising from the ground
             Em     C
 Like a skyscraper
              G     D
 Like a skyscraper


Am                Em
 Go run, run, run
                         C
 I'm gonna stay right here
                 G
 Watch you disappear
Am                Em
 Go run, run, run
                        C        
 Yeah it's a long way down
            G                      D
 But I am closer to the clouds up here


              G             C
 You can take everything I have
               Em            D
 You can break everything I am
                    G     C
 Like I'm made of glass
                  Em      D
 Like I'm made of paper
            Em             C
 Go on and try to tear me down
            G                 D
 I will be rising from the ground
             Em     C
 Like a skyscraper
              G     D
 Like a skyscraper
              Em     C
 (Like a skyscraper)
              G     D
 Like a skyscraper
              Em     C     G     D
 Like a skyscraper
              G
 Like a skyscraper
