             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             G                             D  
Do you have to make me feel like 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
             G                    C  
Go on and try to tear me down
          Em                    D  
I will be rising from the ground
              G          C  
Like a skyscraper
             Em          D  
Like a skyscraper

         G  
As the smoke clears
     C            Em                      D  
I awaken 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
             G                    C  
Go on and try to tear me down
          Em                    D  
I will be rising from the ground
              G          C  
Like a skyscraper
             Em          D

Am                      C  
  Go run, run, run

                         D  
Watch you disappear
Am                    C  
  Go run run run
                                G  
Yeah it' s a long way down
                                          D  
But I am closer to clouds up here

                 G                 C  
You can take everything I have

You can break everything I am
