VERSE:
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 is the last true mouth piece
Am Em
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
Am D
a fresh poison each week
C Em
We were born sick you heard them say it
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
Command me to be well
G C G Cm G Cm G G Em
Aaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaamen Aaaaaaaamen Amen
Chorus:
Em
Take me to church
B
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
G
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Am
Offer me that deathless death
Em Am G G Gb
Good God let me give you my life
Verse
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
To drain the whole sea
Em
Get something shiny
Am Em
Something meaty for the main course
Am D
That's a fine looking high horse
C Em
What you got in the stable
Am D
We've a lot of starving faithful
C
That looks tasty That looks plenty This is hungry work
Chorus:
Em
Take me to church
B
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
G
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Am
Offer me that deathless death
Em Am G G Gb
Good God let me give you my life
Bridge:
C G B7 Em
No masters or kings when the ritual begins
C G B7 Em
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
C G B7 Em
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
C G
Only then I am human
B7 Em D C
Only then I am clean
G C G Cm G Cm G G Em
Amen Amen Amen
Chorus:

Take me to church

Good God let me give you my life
