              G             D
1. Skies are crying, I am watching 
              Em             C
   Catching teardrops in my hands
           G               D             
   Only silence, as its ending,
           Em             C
   like we never had a chance.
            G               D                
   Do you have to make me feel
                Em             C
   like there’s nothing left of me?
   
                    G           D
R: You can take everything I have
            Em                C
   You can break everything I am
                    G
   Like I’m made of glass
                     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, like a skyscraper
   
2. As the smoke clears
   I awaken and untangle you from me         
   Would it make you feel better
   to watch me while I bleed           
   All my windows still are broken
   but I’m standing on my feet
R: You can take everything I have...
   
   Am                  Em               C
*: Go run run run I’m gonna stay right here
   Watch you disappear yeah 
   Am                  Em                C
   Go run run run yeah it’s a long way down
                                       D
   But I’m closer to the clouds up here
   
R: You can take everything I have...
                 Em                    C
   ... Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper (2x)
         G*
   Like a skyscraper
