Capo : fret 5
Em Am
my lover's got humour
Em Am
she's the giggle at a funeral
G Am
knows everybody's disapproval
Em Am
I should've worshipped her sooner
Em Am
if the heavens ever did speak
Em Am
she is the last true mouth piece
G Am
every sunday's getting more bleak
Em Am
a fresh poison each week
D
we were born sick,
C
you heard them say it..
Em Am
my church offers no absolutes
Em Am
she tells me 'worship in the bedroom
G Am
the only heaven I'll be sent to
Em Am
is when I'm alone with you
D C
I was born sick, but I love
C
command me to be well..
G C G
a.. a..men..
C G Cm G D-F#
a..men.. a..men..
(Chorus)
F# -F Em
take me to church
I'll worship like a dog
B
at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins
G
and you can sharpen your knife
Am
offer me that deathless death
Em D-F#
good God, let me give you my life..
F# -F Em
take me to church
I'll worship like a dog
B
at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins
G
and you can sharpen your knife
Am
offer me that deathless death
Bm D-C# C#-C
good God, let me give you my life..
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
something meaty for the main course
Em Am
that's a fine looking high horse
G Am
what you got in the stable..
Em Am
we've a lot of starving faithful
D C
that looks tasty, that looks plenty
C
this is hungry work..
(Chorus)
F# -F Em
take me to church
I'll worship like a dog
B
at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins
G
and you can sharpen your knife
Am
offer me that deathless death
Em D-F#
good God, let me give you my life..
F# -F Em
take me to church
I'll worship like a dog
B
at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins
G
and you can sharpen your knife
Am
offer me that deathless death
Bm D-C# C#-C
good God, let me give you my life..
C G
no masters or kings..
B G
when the ritual begins..
C G
there is no sweeter innocence
B G
than our gentle sin..
C G
in the madness and soil
B G
of that sad, earthly scene..
C G
only then I am human..
B Em D C G
only then I am clean.. ooh.. ooh..
C -G Cm G Cm G D-F#
a..men.. a..men.. a..men..
