D-DU-UDU
 ::Verse 1::
 Everyone  knows it, try  not to show it,
 This city  can bring you down
 I’m  a believer some  days are hard, but
 I couldn’t  leave this town
 ::Chorus::
 I got a skyscraper  soul
 Like a flower  that comes where the sun  never goes
 Skyscraper  soul
 Filling  my heart where there once  was a hole
 ::Verse 2::
Look  out my window
Watching  the sun go down
 On the crowds below
I  know the struggle,
Weaving  through trouble
Life  can be hard, I know
 ::Chorus::
 I got a skyscraper  soul
 There’s mud  in my veins and there’s steel in my bones
 Skyscraper soul
Building  it all up from  water and stones, oh
 ::Interlude::
 ::Solo::
 ::Verse 3::
Look  through the market stalls
 Over broken walls
To  this hollowed ground
Looks  are deceiving
There’s  a heart beating
Here  in this battered town
 ::Chorus::
 Cause I got a skyscraper soul
 Like a flower  that comes where the sun  never goes
Skyscraper soul
Filling  it all up with water  and stones, oh
 ::Interlude::
 ::Solo::
 ::Chorus::
 I’ve got a skyscraper soul
 There's mud  in my veins and there’s steel  in my bones
Skyscraper soul
Brushing  the rust off and losing  control,
 ::Outro::
