[Verse]
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 'We were born sick,
Em
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 Aaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaamen.
Cm G
Aaaaaaaamen.
Cm6 G G5 F#5 F#5 F5
Amen [Chorus]
Em Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the
B
Shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins so
G
You can sharpen your knife
Am Offer me that deathless death
Em Good God, let me give
G5 F#5 F#5 F5
You my life
Em Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the
B
Shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins so
G
You can sharpen your knife
Am Offer me that deathless death Em Good God, let me give
G5 F#5 F#5 F5
You my life [Verse]
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 This is hungry work [Chorus] Em Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the
B
Shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins so
G
You can sharpen your knife
Am Offer me that deathless death
Em Good God, let me give
G5 F#5 F#5 F5
You my life
Em Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the
B
Shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins so
G
You can sharpen your knife
Am Offer me that deathless death Em Good God, let me give
G5 F#5 F#5 F5
You my life
[Bridge]
C G No masters or kings when
B7 Em
The ritual begins
C G There is no sweeter innocence
B7 Em
Than our gentle sin
C G In the madness and soil of that
B7 Em
Sad earthly scene
C G Only then I am human
B7 Em Em/D Cmaj7 C Only then I am clean
G C G Cm G Cm6 G G5 F#5 F#5 F5 Oh, A- men. A- men. A- men [Chorus]
Em Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the
B
Shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins so
G
You can sharpen your knife
Am Offer me that deathless death Em Good God, let me give
G5 F#5 F#5 F5
You my life
Em Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the
B
Shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins so
G
You can sharpen your knife
Am Offer me that deathless death Em Good God, let me give
G5 F#5 F#5 F5
You my life Em
