-5    6 -6 6
Skies are crying
5 5   -6   6
I am watching
5 -5    -6    6 -5 5   -5
Catching teardrops in my hands
5 -5 -6 6 5   -5 -6 6
Only silence as it's ending,
5   -5 -6 6 -5 5   -5
Like we never had a chance
5   5   -8 8    -7 -7 -8
Do you have to, make me feel
-7    5      -6 6   -5 5 -5
Like there’s nothing left of me?

Chorus:
8 -9   8   -10 9 -9 8 8 8
You can take everything I have
8 -9    8   -10 9 -9 8 8 -9
You can break everything I am
-9   8   -9 8    9
Like I'm made of glass
-9   8   -9 9 -10 9
Like I'm made of paper
8 -9 8 -10 9   8   8   -9
Go on and try to tear me down
8 -9 8 -10 9   8    8    -9
I will be rising from the ground
-9 8 -9 9 -9 8
Like a skyscraper!
-9 8 -9 9 -10 9
Like a skyscraper!

Verse 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

(Chorus)

-9 -9   -9   -9
Go run, run, run
8 -9 8   9     8    -7
I'm gonna stay right here
-9    8   9 8 -7 7   7 8 -8
Watch you disappear, yeah
8 -9 -9   -9   -9
Go   run, run, run
8    -9 8 9    8   -7
Yeah it's a long way down
8 -9 8 -9 8 -9 8    9    8   -9
But I am closer to the clouds up here
8 -9   8   -10 9 -9 8 8 8
You can take everything I have
8 -9    8   -10 9 -9 8 8 -9
You can break everything I am
-9   8   -9 8    9
Like I'm made of glass
-9   8   -9 9 -10 9 -10 10 -10 10
Like I'm made of paper, Ohhh   woaah
8 -9 8 11 -12 -11 10 10
Go on and try to tear me down
8 -9 8 -11 10 9   10    10
I will be rising from the ground
-9 8 -9 9 -10 9
Like a skyscraper!
-9 8 -9 9 -10 9
Like a skyscraper!
-9 8 -9 9 -10 9
Like a skyscraper!
-9 8 -9 9 -10 9
Like a skyscraper!
