Em Am Em
My lover's got humour
Am G
She's the giggle at a funeral
Am Em
Knows everybody's disapproval
Am Em
I should've worshipped her sooner
Am Em
If the Heavens ever did speak
Am G
She is the last true mouth piece
Am Em
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
Am D
A fresh poison each week
C Em
'We were born sick, you heard them say it
Am Em
My church offers no absolutes
Am G
She tells me 'worship in the bedroom'
Am Em
The only heaven I'll be sent to
Am D
Is when I'm alone with you
C
I was born sick, but I love it
Command me to be well
G C G C G Cm G G/F#, F# F
Aaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaamen. Aaaaaaaamen. Amen
*The G / f# are power chords sliding downwards*
[Chorus](2x)
Em
Take me to church
B7
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
G
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Am
Offer me that deathless death
Em Am-G-G-F# = *power chords
Good God, let me give you my life
[Verse 2]
Em Am
If I'm a pagan of the good times
Em Am
My lover's the sunlight
G Am
To keep the Goddess on my side
Em Am
She demands a sacrifice
D
To drain the whole sea
C
Get something shiny
Em Am Em
Something meaty for the main course
Am G
That's a fine looking high horse
Am Em
What you got in the stable?
Am
We've a lot of starving faithful
D
That looks tasty
C
That looks plenty
C
This is hungry work
G-F#/F# Em *The G – f# are power chords sliding downwards*
[Chorus](2x)
Em
Take me to church
B7
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
G
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Am
Offer me that deathless death
Em Am-G-G-F# = *power chords
Good God, let me give you my life
[Bridge]
C G B7 Em
No masters or kings when the ritual begins
C G B7 Em
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
C G B7 Em
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
C G
Only then I am human
B7 Em D C
Only then I am clean
G C G Cm G Cm G G-F#/F# F
Amen. Amen. Amen
[Chorus](2x)
Em
Take me to church
B7
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
G
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Am
Offer me that deathless death
Em Am-G-G-F# = *power chords
Good God, let me give you my life
