[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
