CFCAmFCGG7C [Verse 1]
C You said that you were with me, you said you were my friend
FC Did you really love the city or did you just pretend?
AmFC You said you loved her secrets and her freedoms hid away
GG7C She was better than America, that's what I heard you say
 [Verse 2]
C You said how could this happen, you said how can this be
FC The remnant all dishonored on the bridge of misery
AmFC And we who cried for mercy from the bottom of the pit
GG7C Was our prayer so damn unworthy the Son rejected it?
 [Chorus]
E7AmFC So gather up the killers, get everyone in town
E7AmFC Stand me by those pillars, let me take this temple down
E7AmFC The king so kind and solemn, he wears a bloody crown
E7AmGC So stand me by that column, let me take this temple down
CFCAmFCGG7C [Verse 3]
C You said how could this happen, you said how can this be
FC The chains are gone from heaven, the storms are wild and free
AmFC There's other ways to answer, that certainly is true
GG7C Me, I'm blind with death and anger and that's no place for you
 [Chorus]
E7AmFC There's a woman in the window, there's a bed in tinsel town
E7AmFC I'll write you when it's over, let me take this temple down
E7AmFC You said you loved her secrets, her freedoms hid away
E7AmGC
