Skyscraper

• Ab

Ab   A 
come let us make bricks 
    E         B   C 
and burn them hard, 
C#m           A           E             B 
we'll build a city with a tower for the world 
    E               B 
and climb so we can reach 
C#m             A 
anything we may propose, 
E  B        A 
anything at all 

         C#m         B 
build me up, tear me down 
       A         E 
like a skyscraper, 
         C#m     B 
build me up, and tear down 
      Ab      A 
these joining walls 
   E          B        A 
so they can't climb at all 
   C#m        B        A 
so they can't climb at all 

Ab           A       E                 B   C 
yeah, I know why you tore it down that day, 
C#m               A 
you thought, that if you got caught 
E            B 
we'd all go away, 
       E              B 
like a spoiled little baby 
    C#m                A 
who can't come out and play, 
E       B     A 
you had your revenge 


         C#m         B 
build me up, tear me down 
       A         E 
like a skyscraper, 
         C#m     B 
build me up, and tear down 
      Ab      A 
these joining walls 
   E          B        A 
so they can't climb at all 
   C#m        B        A 
so they can't climb at all 


Instrumental:(It's just the chords for the verse then the chorus...) 


     E 
well madness reigned 

and paradise drowned 
     B 
when Babel's walls came a-crashing down 
        C#m 
now the echoes roar 

a story writ 
         A 
that was hardly understood 
    E     B   A 
and never any good 


             C#m         B 
so, build me up, tear me down 
       A         E 
like a skyscraper, 
         C#m     B 
build me up, and tear down 
      Ab      A 
these joining walls 
   E          B        A 
so they can't climb at all 
   C#m        B        A 
so they can't climb at all
