Verse
[Em] [Am] [Em] [Am] [G]
My lover's got humor, she's the giggle at a funeral
[Am] [Em] [Am] [Em]
Knows everybody's disapproval, I should've worshipped her sooner
[Am] [Em] [Am] [G]
If the Heavens ever did speak, she’s the last true mouthpiece
[Am] [Em] [Am] [D]
Every Sunday's getting more bleak, a fresh poison each week
[C/G]
We were born sick, you heard them say it
[Em] [Am] [Em] [Am] [G]
My church offers no absolutes, she tells me 'worship in the bedroom'
[Am] [Em] [Am] [D]
The only heaven I'll be sent to is when I'm alone with you
[C/G] [C/G]
I was born sick, but I love it. Command me to be well
[G2] [C2] [G2] [Cm] [G2] [Cm] [G2]
Ay Ay Ay Ay Ay Amen Amen Amen
Chorus
G5-F#5 F#5-F5 Em*
Take me to church I'll worship
[B]*
Like a dog at the shrine of your lies
[G2]
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Am* Em* A5-G5 G5-F#5
Offer me that deathless death, good God, let me give you my life
[Em]* [B]*
Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
[G2]
I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
Am* Em* A5-G5 G5-F#5
Offer me that deathless death, good God, let me give you my life
Verse
[Em] [Am] [Em] [Am] [G]
If I'm a pagan of the good times, my lover's the sunlight
[Am] [Em] [Am] [D]
To keep the Goddess on my side she demands a sacrifice
[C/G]
Drain the whole sea, get something shiny
[Em] [Am] [Em] [Am] [G]
Something meaty for the main course, that's a fine looking high horse
[Am] [Em] [Am] [D]
What you got in the stable? We've a lot of starving faithful
[C/G] [C/G]
That looks tasty, that looks plenty, this is hungry work
Chorus
G5-F#5 F#5-F5 Em*
Take me to church I'll worship
[B]*
Like a dog at the shrine of your lies
[G2]
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Am* Em* A5-G5 G5-F#5
Offer me that deathless death, good God, let me give you my life
[Em]* [B]*
Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
[G2]
I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
Am* Em* A5-G5 G5-F#5
Offer me that deathless death, good God, let me give you my life
Bridge
[C/G] [G] [B7] [Em]
No masters or kings when the ritual begins
[C/G] [G] [B7] [Em]
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
[C/G] [G] [B7] [Em]
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
[C/G] [G] [B7] [Em] [D] [Cmaj7] [C]
Only then I am human, only then I am clean
[G2] [C2] [G2] [Cm] [G2] [Cm] [G2]
Oh Amen Amen Amen
Chorus
G5-F#5 F#5-F5 Em*
Take me to church I'll worship
[B]*
Like a dog at the shrine of your lies
[G2]
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Am* Em* A5-G5 G5-F#5
Offer me that deathless death, good God, let me give you my life
[Em]* [B]*
Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
[G2]
I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
Am* Em* A5-G5 G5-F#5
Offer me that deathless death, good God, let me give you my life
