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’s the last true mouthpiece. Am Em Every Sunday’s getting more bleak, Am D A fresh poison each week. C “We were born sick.” You heard them say it. Em 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. C Command me to be well. G C G C G C G Aaaa, amen, amen, amen. Am G G 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 And, good God, Am G Let me give you my life. G 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 And, good God, Am G G F# Let me give you my life. Em Am Em If I'm a pagan of the good times Am G My lover's the sunlight Am Em To keep the goddess on my side Am D She demands a sacrifice C Drain the whole sea Em Get something shiny 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 D We've a lot of starving faithful C That looks tasty C That looks plenty Am G This is hungry work G 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 And, good God, Am G Let me give you my life. G 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 And, good God, Am G G F# Let me give you my life. C G No masters or kings B Em When the ritual begins. C G There is no sweeter innocence B Em Than our gentle sin. C G In the madness and soil B Em Of that sad earthly scene, C G Only then I am human; B Em G Only then I am clean. C Oh, G C G C G C G Oh, amen, amen, amen. Am G G 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 And, good God, Am G Let me give you my life. G 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.
