[Verse]
G C My lover's got humor
A7 D She's the giggle at a funeral
G C Knows everybody's disapproval
A7 D I should've worshipped her sooner
G C If the heavens ever did speak
A7 D She's the last true mouthpiece
G C Every Sunday's getting more bleak
A7 D A fresh poison each week
A7 D "We were born sick", you
Heard them say it [Verse]
G C My church offers no absolutes
A7 She tells me "Worship in
D
The bedroom"
G The only Heaven I'll
C
Be sent to
A7 D Is when I'm alone with you
A7 D I was born sick,
But I love it
A7 D Command me to be well [Pre-Chorus]
G C G Amen C G Amen
Cm G Amen [Chorus]
G Take me to church
C I'll worship like a dog at
A7
The shrine of your lies
D I'll tell you my sins and
G
you can sharpen your knife
C Offer me that deathless death
A7 Good God, let me give
D
You my life
G Take me to church C I'll worship like a dog at
A7
The shrine of your lies
D I'll tell you my sins and
G
You can sharpen your knife
C Offer me that deathless death
A7 D Good God, let me give you my life [Verse]
G C If I'm a pagan of the good times
G C My lover's the sunlight
A7 D To keep the goddess on my side
A7 D She demands a sacrifice
A7 D Drain the whole sea,
Get something shiny
G Something meaty for
C
The main course
G That's a fine looking
C
High horse
A7 D What you got in the stable?
A7 D We've a lot of starving faithful
A7 D That looks tasty, that
Looks plenty
A7 D This is hungry work [Chorus]
G Take me to church
C I'll worship like a dog at
A7
The shrine of your lies
D I'll tell you my sins and
G
You can sharpen your knife
C Offer me that deathless death
A7 D Good God, let me give you my life
G Take me to church
C I'll worship like a dog at
A7
the shrine of your lies D I'll tell you my sins and
G
you can sharpen your knife C Offer me that deathless death A7 D Good God, let me give you my life [Bridge]
C G No masters or kings when
A7
the ritual begins
C G There is no sweeter innocence
A7
than our gentle sin
C G A7 In the madness and soil of
A7
that sad earthly scene
C G Only then I am human,
A7 G
Only then I am clean
[Pre-Chorus]
C G Amen
C G Amen
Cm G Amen [Chorus]
G Take me to church
C I'll worship like a dog at
A7
the shrine of your lies
D I'll tell you my sins and
G
you can sharpen your knife
C Offer me that deathless death
A7 D Good God, let me give you my life
G Take me to church
C I'll worship like a dog at
A7
The shrine of your lies
D I'll tell you my sins and
G
you can sharpen your knife
C Offer me that deathless death
A7 Good God, let me give
D G
You my life
