Streetlight Manifesto - Skyscraper

this is a streetlight manifesto cover of the bad religion song “skyscraper” . the chords
are a lot easier to hear in their version . . . quality tune . enjoy

G# 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
G# 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

G# 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
G# 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
G# 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
