[Intro]
Em Am Em
[Verse 1]
Em Am Em
My lover's got humour
Em Am
She's the giggle at a funeral
G Am Em
Knows everybody's disapproval
Em Am
I should've worshipped her sooner
Em Am Em
If the heavens ever did speak
Em Am
She's the last true mouthpiece
G Am Em
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
Em Am
A fresh poison each week
D C C
We were born sick, you heard them say it
Em Am Em
My church offers no absolutes
Em Am
She tells me, "Worship in the bedroom"
G Am Em
The only heaven I'll be sent to
Em Am D
Is when I'm alone with you
C
I was born sick, but I love it
C C C
Command me to be well
| C G | C G | C G | C G |
Aaaaaaaaaa Aaaaaaamen Aaaaaamen A - men
[Chorus]
| G F# | Em
Take me to church
Em B
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
B G
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Am
Offer me that deathless death
Em | G F# |
And good God, let me give you my life
Em
Take me to church
Em B
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
B G
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Am
Offer me that deathless death
Em | G F# |
And good God, let me give you my life
[Verse 2]
Em Am Em
If I'm a pagan of the good times
Em Am
My lover's the sunlight
G Am Em
To keep the goddess on my side
Em Am
She demands sacrifice
D
To drain the whole sea
C
Get something shiny
Em Am Em
Something meaty for the main course
Em Am
That's a fine looking high horse
G Am Em
What you got in the stable?
Em Am
We've a lot of starving faithful
D
That looks tasty
C
That looks plenty
C | G F# |
This is hungry work
[Chorus]
Em
Take me to church
Em B
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
B G
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Am
Offer me that deathless death
Em | G F# |
And good God, let me give you my life
Em
Take me to church
Em B
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
B G
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Am
Offer me that deathless death
Em | G F# |
And good God, let me give you my life
[Bridge]
C G B Em
No masters or kings when the ritual begins
C G B Em
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
C G B Em
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
C G
Only then I am human
B Em D C C
Only then I am clean
| C G | C G | C G | C G |
Oh, Aaaaaaaaaa Aaaaaaamen Aaaaaamen A - men
[Chorus]
| G F# | Em
Take me to church
Em B
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
B G
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Am
Offer me that deathless death
Em | G F# |
And good God, let me give you my life
Em
Take me to church
Em B
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
B G
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Am
Offer me that deathless death
Em | G F# |
And good God, let me give you my life
Em
Take me to church
N.C.
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
And good God, let me give you my life
Take me to church
