"Skyscraper" - Kerli
It's basically the same as the original version by Demi Lovato. The version on here by her
had some misplaced chords so I thought I'd just clean it up and make a chord version for Kerli
(who, by the way, co-wrote the song) because I like her voice much better than Demi's. The only
real difference is that the intro's played twice in Kerli's version.
Intro: G C Em D (2x)
Verse:
G C
Skies are crying, I am watching
Em D
Catching tear drops in my hands
G C
Only silence as it's ending
Em D
Like we never had a chance
Prechorus:
Em C
Do you have to make me feel like
G D
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
Em C
Go on and try to tear me down
G D
I will be rising from the ground
Em C
Like a skyscraper
G D
Like a skyscraper
Verse:
G C
As the smoke clears, I awaken
Em D
And untangle you from me
G Em
Would it make you feel better
Em D
To watch me while I bleed?
Prechorus:
Em C
All my windows still are broken
G D
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
Em C
Go on and try to tear me down
G D
I will be rising from the ground
Em C
Like a skyscraper
G D
Like a skyscraper
Bridge:
Am Em
Go run, run, run
C
I'm gonna stay right here,
G
Watch you disappear
Am Em
Go run, run, run
C
Yeah, it's a long way down
G D
But I am 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
Em C
Go on and try to tear me down
G D
I will be rising from the ground
Em C
Like a skyscraper
G D
Like a skyscraper
Em C
Like a skyscraper
G D
Like a skyscraper
Em C G D
Like a skyscraper
classicNote: It sounds really cool if you have a delay pedal set to the beat of the song.
I play it like that on my 12-string and it sounds guitargasmic.
