Am Dm Am
My lover's got humour
Dm C
She's the giggle at a funeral
Dm Am
Knows everybody's disapproval
Dm Am
I should've worshipped her sooner
Dm Am
If the Heavens ever did speak
Dm C
She is the last true mouthpiece
Dm Am
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
Dm G
A fresh poison each week
F
'We were born sick,' you heard them say it
Am Dm Am
My church offers no absolutes
Dm C
She tells me 'worship in the bedroom'
Dm Am
The only heaven I'll be sent to
Dm G
Is when I'm alone with you
F
I was born sick, but I love it
F
Command me to be well
C F C F C Fm C
Aaaaaaaaaaamen. Amen. Amen
C-B-B-Bb Am
Take me to church, I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
E C
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Dm
Offer me that deathless death
Am D-C-C-B
Good God, let me give you my life [Chorus](2x)
Am Dm Am
If I'm a pagan of the good times
Dm C
My lover's the sunlight
Dm Am
To keep the Goddess on my side
Dm G
She demands a sacrifice
F
To drain the whole sea
Am
Get something shiny
Dm Am
Something meaty for the main course
Dm C
That's a fine looking high horse
Dm Am
What you got in the stable?
Dm G
We've a lot of starving faithful
F
That looks tasty
F
That looks plenty
C-B
This is hungry work
B-Bb Am
Take me to church, I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
E C
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Dm
Offer me that deathless death
Am D-C-C-B
Good God, let me give you my life [Chorus](2x)
[Bridge]
F C E Am
No masters or kings when the ritual begins
F C E Am
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
F C E Am
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
F C E Am
Only then I am human, only then I am clean.
C F C F C Fm C
Aaaaaaaaaaamen. Amen. Amen
C-B-B-Bb Am
Take me to church, I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
E C
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Dm
Offer me that deathless death
Am D-C-C-B
Good God, let me give you my life [Chorus](2x)
