Skyscraper chords by Streetlight Manifesto

Chords with lyrics

are a lot easier to hear in their version... Quality tune. Enjoy


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

     C# minorC#m     BB
build me up, tear me down
    A augmentedA     E MajorE
like a skyscraper,
     C# minorC#m   BB
build me up, and tear down
   AbAb   A augmentedA
these joining walls
  E MajorE     BB    A augmentedA
so they can't climb at all
  C# minorC#m    BB    A augmentedA
so they can't climb at all

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


     C# minorC#m     BB
build me up, tear me down
    A augmentedA     E MajorE
like a skyscraper,
     C# minorC#m   BB
build me up, and tear down
   AbAb   A augmentedA
these joining walls
  E MajorE     BB    A augmentedA
so they can't climb at all
  C# minorC#m    BB    A augmentedA
so they can't climb at all

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


   E MajorE
well madness reigned

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

a story writ
     A augmentedA
that was hardly understood
  E MajorE   BB  A augmentedA
and never any good


       C# minorC#m     BB
so, build me up, tear me down
    A augmentedA     E MajorE
like a skyscraper,
     C# minorC#m   BB
build me up, and tear down
   AbAb   A augmentedA
these joining walls
  E MajorE     BB    A augmentedA
so they can't climb at all
  C# minorC#m    BB    A augmentedA
so they can't climb at all
