      D
All alone so it feels
              F#m
Where are you going
          G   Gm
Finally knowing
              D
What nobody knows

    G                    D
And if you ever need my hands
    G                       D
To carry you through heavy times
      G                        D
I'll look into your wondering eyes to remind
          Em
you what you are.

Chorus:
  D
Skyscraper
               Dmaj7
You define the sky line
               C
Opposite the grapevine
        Em                D
Where crows and rumours fly

And if you ever need my hands
To carry you through heavy times
Or look in to your telling eyes
To remind you what you are

Chorus:
Skyscraper
Half way to the show
Giving every sunrise some connection
Protection from a bitter sun

Skyscraper
You define the skyline
Opposite the grapevine
Where crows and rumors fly
Skyscraper
