A-

This song is from the album Unbroken(2011), released on Sep 20, 2011.
I loved the passion and emotion that Demi portrayed in this song.The background music felt powerful and empowering. The lyrics were beautiful and really meaningful. The way that she sings the bridge is simply breathtaking. The range of her vocals in the second chorus is amazing, I think that is one of the reasons for the success of this song.

[INTRO] G C Em D x2
[VERSE]
           G               C
Skies are crying, I am watching
            Em              D
Catching tear drops in my hands
        G               C
Only silence as it's ending
          Em            D
Like we never had a chance
         Em             C
Do you have to make me feel like
         G               D
There's nothing left of me?

[CHORUS]
                  G         C
You can take everything I have
                  Em        D
You can break everything I am
                  G
Like I'm made of glass
C                 Em D
Like I'm made of paper
D         Em             C
Go on and try to tear me down
            G                D
I will be rising from the ground
            Em C
Like a skyscraper
C           G  D
Like a skyscraper

[VERSE]
        G                C
As the smoke clears, I awaken
        Em            D
And untangle you from me
           G             C
Would it make you feel better
      Em              D
To watch me while I bleed?
         Em                 C
All my windows still are broken
            G           D
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
Like I'm made of glass
C                 Em D
Like I'm made of paper
D          Em           C
Go on and try to tear me down
            G                D
I will be rising from the ground
            Em C
Like a skyscraper
C           G  D
Like a skyscraper

[BRIDGE]
Am
Go run, run, run
Em
I'm gonna stay right here,
C             G
Watch you disappear
G
Yeah, oh
Am
Go run, run, run
Em                      C
Yeah, it's a long way down
            G                     D
But I am closer to the clouds up here

[CHORUS]
                  G         C
You can take everything I have
                  Em        D
You can break everything I am
                  G
Like I'm made of glass
C                 Em D
Like I'm made of paper
D          Em           C
Go on and try to tear me down
            G                D
I will be rising from the ground
            Em C
Like a skyscraper
C           G  D
Like a skyscraper
               Em C
(Like a skyscraper)


             G   D
Like a skyscraper
D             Em
Like a skyscraper

[INSTRUMENTAL] Em C G D
