Skies are cry ing; I am watch ing, catch ing tear drops in my (D)hands.

On ly si lence as it’s end ing, like we nev er had a (D)chance.

Do you have to make me feel like but there’s noth ing left of (D)me?

You can take ev ’ry thing I (C)have.

You can break ev ’ry thing I (D)am like I’m made of glass,

like I’m made of pa per.

You go on and try to tear me (C)down.

I will be ris ing from the (D)ground like a sky scrap er,

like a sky scrap er.

As the smoke clears, I a wak en and un tan gle you from (D)me.

Would it make you as feel bet ter like to watch me while I (D)bleed?

All my win dows still are bro ken, but I’m stand ing on my (D)feet.

You can take ev ’ry thing I (C)have.

You can break ev ’ry thing I (D)am like I’m made of glass,

You go on and try to tear me (C)down.

I will be ris ing from the (D)ground like a sky scrap er,

You can break ev ’ry thing I (D)am like I’m made of glass,

Go on and try to tear me (C)down.

I will be ris ing from the (D)ground like a sky scrap er,

Like a sky scrap er.

Skyscraper by Demi Lovato — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Skyscraper by Demi Lovato in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of G at 110 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.

Tips for parents & teachers

  • Start at 50% tempo using the BPM control. Speed up only when your child can play through without stopping.
  • Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
  • Use the segmented OFF / C / 1 button to toggle note labels on the staff and keys — kids learn note names faster with letters showing.
  • Tap a measure number on the timeline to jump to a specific section for repeat practice.
