Chorus:
    E        F#m         C#m         D
If you were church, I'd get on my knees
Confess my love, I'd know where to be
My sanctuary, you're holy to me
If you were church, I'd get on my knees

                E F#m C#m
I'd get on my knees,
     D          E F#m C#m
I'd get on my knees,
     D          E F#m C#m
I'd get on my knees

         F#m               A
Make it billboard big and swallow it for me
      B
Time capsule for the future
            D                C#
Trust me, that's what I will be
         F#m                       A
Oh, the things that you do in the name of what you love
         B
You are doomed but just enough
         D               C#
You are doomed but just enough

Chorus:
If you were church, whoo, I'd get on my knees, yeah
Confess my love, I'd know where to be
My sanctuary, you're holy to me
If you were church, yeah, I'd get on my knees

I'd get on my knees,
I'd get on my knees,
I'd get on my knees

I love the world
But I just don't love the way it makes me feel
Got a few more fake friends
And it's getting hard to know what's real
And if death is the last appointment
Then we're all just sitting in the waiting room (Mr. Stump?)
I am just a human trying to avoid my certain doom

Chorus:
If you were church, yeah, I'd get on my knees
Confess my love, I'd know where to be
My sanctuary, you're holy to me
If you were church, yeah, I'd get on my knees

     E         F#m    A
I'd get on my knees, yeah, oh
                B   D  C#
I'd get on my knees, ah ah ah
              F#m      A
I'd get on my knees, yeah
               B    D C#
I'd get on my knees

Chorus:
If you were church, I'd get on my knees
Confess my love, I'd know where to be
My sanctuary, you're holy to me, you're holy to me
If you were church, yeah, I'd get on my knees, yeah
