Verse 1
(E minor) When you're far from home,
I do (C major) believe it's fair (G major)
To use a pub (E minor) lic bathroom
mirror (C major) to cut your hair (G major)
In a cheap (E minor) south Hampton diner
I am both Samson (A minor) and Delilah
As I chain (C major) myself to the
pillars of nowhere
(G major)
Verse 2
And I walk (E minor) back to the
booth (C major) where I was sat (G major)
With my trans (E minor) formation
hidden (C major) 'neath my hat (G major)
That's when suddenly (E minor) it strikes me
All the lonely (A minor) pilgrims like me
Form a (C major) tribe of travelers scattered
across the mound
(D major)

Verse 3
So let's de (C major) fy the distance
here to there (G major)
Let's (C major) write each other postcards
and call it (G major) prayer
Let's congregate (C major) in a place (B major)
that is (B minor) n't (E minor) anywhere (A minor)
At the temple (G major) of broken (D major) dreams
(G major)
Verse 4
(E minor)
You're a collection of the shard
(C major) s that you can save (G major)
We're all destined (E minor) for per
fection (C major) in the grave (G major)
Until then (E minor) when struggle
ceases (E major) (E minor)
We're just (A minor) juggling the pieces
Like a (C major) waitress with too
many empty plates
(G major)
Verse 5
We worked so (E minor) hard trying
to keep (C major) holding the line (G major)
The human heart (E minor) that starts
out (C major) broken by design (G major)
If we (E minor) ever did defeat this funda
mental (A minor) incompleteness
There'd be (C major) no more love
or care or space or time
(D major)
Verse 6
So let's de (C major) fy the
distance here to there (G major)
Let's (C major) write each other postcards
and call that (G major) prayer
Let's (C major) meet up in a place (B major)
that is (E minor) n't anywhere (E major) (A minor)
At the tem (G major) ple (D major) of broken (G major)
Interlude 1
dreams
(G major) (E minor) (C major) (G major) (D major) (A minor)
Verse 7
So I'm back (E minor) at the wheel
(C major) of my Chevy shrine (G major)
I can feel (E minor) all of your dream
(C major) s mingling with mine (G major)
Just because (E minor) those dreams
are shattered
Doesn't mean (A minor) they can't matter
We'll arrange (C major) them in
mosaic over time
(G major)
Verse 8
Now the fu (E minor) ture is looking rough (C major)
and so is the pas (G major) t
Luckily, (E minor) the present mo (C major) ments
where we're trapped (G major)
We're all losers, (E minor) we're all gamblers
(C major) We're all bug (A minor) s frozen in amber
Small (C major) eternities that never seem to last
(D major)
Verse 9
So let's (C major) organize our lives
around love and (G major) care
Let's (C major) write each other letters
and call it (G major) prayer
Let's (C major) meet up in a place (B major)
that isn't (E minor) anywhere
(A minor) At the temple (G major) of (D major) broken
(E minor) dreams (A major)
Verse 10
At the temple (G major) of (D major) broken dreams (E minor)
(E major) (A major) Yes, at the (G major) temple of (D major) broken (C major) dreams
