  G
This was a church
A house full of prayer
               D
It ain't that now
I could tear it down
          G
There's thieves at the altar
A snake wears the crown
             D                   Am
Handing you coal, swearing it's gold

Chorus:
Em
Look what they've done to this house of love
Am
It's too late to turn the river to blood
     C                                        Em
The savior's come and gone, we're all out of time
     C
The devil's in the temple and he ain't no friend of mine

I'd turn things around
I would if I could
Crash through the gates
Break every chain
Jail for the jailers
Sing freedom's song
Amazing grace
Burn down this place

Chorus:
Look what they've done to this house of love
It's too late to turn the river to blood
The savior's come and gone, we're all out of time
The devil's in the temple and he ain't no friend of mine

Em                                          C Am
Look what they've done to this house of love
Em                                          C Am
Look what they've done to this house of love
     Em
The devil's in the temple and he's making a mess
 C
Got the Mona Lisa, got his hands up her dress
     Em
The gun is in his hand, but he ain't gonna confess
He lies

Chorus:
Look what they've done to this house of love
It's too late to turn river to blood
The savior's come and gone, we're all out of time
Ah, the devil's in the temple and he ain't no friend of mine
Oh, the devil's in the temple and he ain't no friend of mine
Ah, the devil's in the temple and he ain't no friend of mine
