E                       G             A
With the fire from the fireworks up above me

        E                      G                   A
With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain at hand

     E                    G                   A
You run for cover in the temple of love, you run for another but still the same

E                         G                 A
For the wind will blow my name across this land

E                   G               A
  In the temple of love you hide together

E          G                A
Believing pain and fear outside

     E                G                A
But someone near you rides the weather and the tears he cried will rain

    E            G           A
on walls as wide as lovers' eyes
[Chorus 1]
E                      G
In the temple of love, shine like thunder

E                        G
  In the temple of love, cry like rain

E                        G
  In the temple of love, hear my calling

E                        G
  In the temple of love, hear my name
[Verse]
E                  G                   A
  And the devil in black dress watches over

E              G           A
 My guardian angel walks away

E          G        A
 Life is short and love is always over in the morning

E                G             A
 Black wind come carry me far away

E                   G                   A
 With the sunlight died and the night above me

        E                      G                  A
With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain inside

     E                    G              A
You run for cover in the temple of love, you run for another it's all the same

        E                    G                A
For the wind will blow and throw your walls aside
[Chorus 2]
E
With the fire from the fireworks up above

                             G
With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain

E
You run for cover in the temple of love

                    G
Shine like thunder, cry like rain

E
And the temple of love grows old and strong

                             G
But the wind blows stronger, cold and long

E
And the temple of love will fall before us

                    G              E
Black wind calls my name to you no more
[Bridge] E G A x4 [Verse]
E                         G              A
In the black sky thunder sweeping underground and over water sounds of

E               G                  A
crying weeping will not save your faith for bricks and dreams for mortar

E                     G                 A
All your prayers must seem as nothing, ninety-six below the wave

     E                 G           A
When stone is dust and only air remains
[Chorus 1]
E                                       G
In the temple of love (temple of love), shine like thunder

E                                       G
In the temple of love (temple of love), cry like rain (cry like rain)

E                                       G
In the temple of love (temple of love), hear the calling

E                                       G
And the temple of love,                   Is falling down

When stone is dust and air remains the only haven you can trust

E                    D                   A
  And the devil in a black dress watches over

 My guardian angel walks away
