G G7 C
[Verse 1]
C
You said that you were with me, you said you were my friend
F C
Did you really love the city or did you just pretend?
Am F C
You said you loved her secrets and her freedoms hid away
G G7 C
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
F C
The remnant all dishonored on the bridge of misery
Am F C
And we who cried for mercy from the bottom of the pit
G G7 C
Was our prayer so damn unworthy the Son rejected it?
[Chorus]
E7 Am F C
So gather up the killers, get everyone in town
E7 Am F C
Stand me by those pillars, let me take this temple down
E7 Am F C
The king so kind and solemn, he wears a bloody crown
E7 Am G C
So stand me by that column, let me take this temple down
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
C
You said how could this happen, you said how can this be
F C
The chains are gone from heaven, the storms are wild and free
Am F C
There's other ways to answer, that certainly is true
G G7 C
Me, I'm blind with death and anger and that's no place for you
[Chorus]
E7 Am F C
There's a woman in the window, there's a bed in tinsel town
E7 Am F C
I'll write you when it's over, let me take this temple down
E7 Am F C
You said you loved her secrets, her freedoms hid away
E7 Am G C
She was better than America, that's what I heard you say
