Bad Religion
Skyscraper
Recipe For Hate (1993)

G♯   A                      E         B     C
Come let us make bricks and burn them hard
C♯m           A           E             B
We'll build a city with a tower for the world
    E               B
And climb so we can reach
   C♯m             A
Anything we may propose
E  B        Amaj7
Anything at all

           C♯m         B
  Build me up, tear me down
         A      E
  Like a skyscraper
  e     d♯ C♯m      B
  Build me up, then tear down
        G♯      A
  These joining walls
     E          B        A
  So they can't climb at all

I know why you tore it down that day
You thought, that if you got caught we'd all go away
Like a spoiled little baby
Who can't come out to play
You had your revenge

  Refrain

B E  (stop)

E  B  A  E  e d♯ C♯m  B  G♯  A  E  B  A  w/ solo

     E
Well madness reigned and paradise drowned
     B
When Babel's walls came crashing down
        C♯m
Now the echoes roar for a story writ
         A
That was hardly understood
    E     B   Amaj7
And never any good

  Refrain   B

C♯m  B  A  B A        B
             Build me   up
C♯m  B  A  B A  e     d♯
                Build me up
C♯m  B  G♯  A ...
