Temple Of Broken Dreams Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]When you're far from home,
I [C]do believe it's [G]fair
To use [Em]a public bathroom
mirror [C]to cut your [G]hair
In a [Em]cheap south Hampton diner
I am both [Am]Samson and Delilah
As I [C]chain myself to the
pillars of nowhere
[G]

[Verse 2]
And I [Em]walk back to the
[C]booth where I was [G]sat
With my [Em]transformation
[C]hidden 'neath my [G]hat
That's when [Em]suddenly it strikes me
All the [Am]lonely pilgrims like me
Form a [C]tribe of travelers scattered
across the mound
[D]

[Verse 3]
So let's [C]de fy the distance
here to [G]there
Let's [C]write each other postcards
and call it [G]prayer
Let's [C]congregate in a [B]place
that is[Bm]n't a[Em]nywhere[Am]
At the [G]temple of [D]broken dreams
[G]

[Verse 4]
[Em]
You're a collection of the shard
[C]s that you can sav[G]e
We're all [Em]destined for per
[C]fection in the [G]grave
Until [Em]then when struggle
[E]ceases[Em]
We're just [Am]juggling the pieces
Like a [C]waitress with too
many empty plates
[G]

[Verse 5]
We worked [Em]so hard trying
[C]to keep holding the [G]line
The human [Em]heart that starts
out [C]broken by [G]design
If we [Em]ever did defeat this funda
[Am]mental incompleteness
There'd be [C]no more love
or care or space or time
[D]

[Verse 6]
So let's [C]de fy the
distance here to [G]there
Let's [C]write each other postcards
and call [G]that prayer
Let's [C]meet up in a [B]place
that is[Em]n't any[E]where[Am]
At the [G]tem[D]ple [G]of broken

[Interlude 1]
dreams
[G][Em][C][G][D][Am]

[Verse 7]
So I'm [Em]back at the wheel
[C]of my Chevy shr[G]ine
I can [Em]feel all of your dream
[C]s mingling with min[G]e
Just be[Em]cause those dreams
are shattered
Doesn't [Am]mean they can't matter
We'll ar[C]range them in
mosaic over time
[G]

[Verse 8]
Now the fu[Em]ture is looking [C]rough
and so is the pas[G]t
Luck[Em]ily, the present mo[C]ments
where we're [G]trapped
We're all [Em]losers, we're all gamblers
[C]We're all [Am]bug s frozen in amber
Small [C]eternities that never seem to last
[D]

[Verse 9]
So let's [C]organize our lives
around love and [G]care
Let's [C]write each other letters
and call it [G]prayer
Let's [C]meet up in [B]a place
that isn't [Em]anywhere
[Am]At the t[G]emple of broke[D]n
[Em]dreams[A]

[Verse 10]
[G]At the temple of [D]broken [Em]dreams
[E]Yes[A], at the tem[G]ple of bro[D]ken dre[C]ams
