::Verse #1::
 Em                 C
Everyone knows it, try not to show it,
       G                 D
This city can bring you down
 Em             C        
I’m a believer some days are hard, but
      G                  D
I couldn’t leave this town


::Chorus::
           G          G/B  C
I got a skyscraper soul
          Em                       D
Like a flower that comes where the sun never goes
 G        G/B C
Skyscraper soul
     Em                         D
Filling my heart where there once was a hole


::Verse #2::
Em 
Look out my window
C
Watching the sun go down
G                       D
    On the crowds below
Em     
I know the struggle,
C
Weaving through trouble
G                    D
Life can be hard, I know


::Chorus::
          G     G/B C
I got a skyscraper soul
           Em                                   D
There’s mud in my veins and there’s steel in my bones
  G    G/B C
Skyscraper soul
Em                     D                    C
Building it all up from water and stones, oh

::Interlude::
G - D - C

::Solo::
Em - C - G - D

::Verse #3::
Em                        C
Look through the market stalls

Over broken walls
G                  D
To this hollowed ground
Em
Looks are deceiving
C
There’s a heart beating
G                     D
Here in this battered town

::Chorus::
                 G   G/B C
Cause I got a skyscraper soul
         Em                        D
Like a flower that comes where the sun never goes
G    G/B   C
Skyscraper soul
Em                     D                         C
Filling it all up with water and stones, oh

::Interlude::
G - D - C
G - D - C

::Solo::
Em - C - G - D
Em - C - G - D

::Chorus::
             G    G/B C
I’ve got a skyscraper soul
         Em                          D
There's mud in my veins and there’s steel in my bones
G    G/B   C
Skyscraper soul
Em                         D                C
Brushing the rust off and losing control,

::Outro::
G - D - C
