The D7 at the end of verses 2, 4, and 6 is not quite right.
It sounds like the notes of the C chord persist with hints of d and f# over it, mayble like x32032.
Try it out and have fun with this great song.
[Intro]
Em
[Verse 1]
Em C G When you're far from home I do believe its fair Em C G To use a public bathroom mirror to cut your hair Em In a cheap South Hampton diner Am I am both Samson and Delilah C G As i chain myself to the pillars of nowhere
[Verse 2]
Em C G And i walk back to the booth were i was sat Em C G With my transformation hidden beneath my hat Em That's when suddenly it strikes me Am All the lonely pilgrims like me C D7 Form a tribe of travelers scattered across the map
[Chorus]
C G So let's defy the distance here to there C G Let's writе each other postcards and call it prayer C B7 Em A7 Lеt's congregate in a place that isnt any - where G D G At the temple of broken dreams
[Verse 3]
Em C G You're a collection of the shards that you can save Em C G We're all destined for perfection in the grave Em Until then when struggle ceases Am Were just juggling the pieces C G Like a waitress with too many empty plates
[Verse 4]
Em C G We worked so hard trying to keep holding the line Em C G The human heart that starts out broken by design Em If we ever did defeat this Am Fundamental incompleteness C D7 There'd be no more love or care or space or time
[Chorus]
C G So let's defy the distance here to there C G Let's write each other postcards and call that prayer C B7 Em A7 Lets meet up in a place that isn't any - where G D G At the temple of broken dreams
[Solo]
Em C G
D Am
[Verse 5]
Em C G So I'm back at the wheel of my Chevy shrine Em C G I can feel all of your dreams mingling with mine Em Just because those dreams are shattered Am Doesn't mean that they can't matter C G We'll arrange them in mosaic over time
[Verse 6]
Em C G Now the future is looking rough and so is the past Em C G Luckily the present moment's where we're trapped Em We're all losers we're all gamblers Am We're all bugs frozen in amber C D7 Small eternities that never seem to last
[Chorus]
C G So let's organize our lives around love and care C G Let's write each other letters and call it prayer C B7 Em A7 Let's meet up in a place that isn't any - where G D Em A7 At the temple of broken dreams ahh G D Em A7 At the temple of broken dreams yes G D C At the temple of broken dreams
