[Verse 1]
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 room of peace
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 Cm, G F#, F# F Em
Aaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaamen Aaaaaaaamen Amen
[Chorus](2x)
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 F# Em
Good God let me give you my life
[Verse 2](2x)
If I'm a pagan of the good times
My lover's the sunlight
To keep the Goddess on my side
She demands a sacrifice
To drain the whole sea
Get something shiny
Something meaty for the main course
That's a fine looking high horse
What you got in the stable
We've a lot of starving faithful
That looks tasty
That looks plenty
This is hungry work
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
No masters or kings when the ritual begins
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
Only then I am human
Only then I am clean
Amen Amen Amen
[Chorus]
