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)
[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
Em C
Like a skyscraper,
Em C
like a skyscraper,
Em C
Like a skyscraper.
