Chords
It's all very simple. Most of the song is G, C, Em, D and the bridge is Am, Em, C, G, D. That's it.
For the strumming, you can do a concomitant pluck of e, B, G and E chords across the chords.
[easy] strumming: down-down-down-DOWN-down-down-DOWN (where down is simple strum and DOWN is rougher strum)
[Intro]
G C Em D
[Verse 1]
G C Skies are crying, I am watching, Em D Catching teardrops in my hands. G C Em D Only silence, as it's ending, like we never had a chance. G C Em D Do you have to make me feel like there's nothing left of me?
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
G As the smoke clears, C Em D I awaken and untangle you from me. G C Em D Would it make you feel better to watch me while I bleed? G C Em D All my windows, still are broken, but I'm standing on my feet.
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Am Em Go run, run, run, I'm gonna stay right here, C G D Watch you disappear, yeah. Am Em C Go run, run, run, yeah, it's a long way down, G D But I'm closer to the clouds up here.
[Chorus]
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 C Like a skyscraper, Em D like a skyscraper G Like a skyscraper.
