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

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?

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

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

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
