[First Part]

Em                 Am
   My lover's got humour
Em                        Am
   She's the giggle at a funeral
G                          Am
  Knows everybody's disapproval
Em                             Am
   I should've worshipped her sooner

Em                      Am
   If the heavens ever did speak
Em                       Am
   She is the last true mouthpiece
G                         Am
  Every sunday's getting more bleak
Em                Am
   A fresh poison each week
D9
   We were born sick
C/G
  You heard them say it

Em                     Am
   My church offers no absolutes
Em                               Am
   She tells me, worship in the bedroom
G                          Am
  The only heaven I'll be sent to
Em                    Am
   Is when I'm alone with you
D9                  C/G
   I was born sick,   but I love it

Command me to be well
G     C/G  G   Cm7  G   Cm7  G
Amen, a_men, a__men, a__men

( G5  F#5  F#5  F5 )

[Chorus]

             Em
Take me to church

I'll worship like a dog
                       B7
At the shrine of your lies

I'll tell you my sins
                          G
So you can sharpen your knife
               Am
Offer me that deathless death
      Em
Good God, let me give you my life

So you can sharpen your knife
               Am
Offer me that deathless death

Good God, let me give you my life

[Segunda Parte]

Em                        Am
   If I'm a pagan of the good times
Em                 Am
   My lover's the sunlight
G                         Am
  To keep the goddess on my side
Em                   Am
   She demands a sacrifice
D9
   To drain the whole sea
C/G
  Get something shiny

Em                          Am
   Something meaty for the main course
Em                        Am
   That's a fine looking high horse
G                       Am
  What you got in the stable?
Em                          Am
   We've a lot of starving faithful
D9
   That looks tasty
C/G
  That looks plenty

This is hungry work

[Terceira Parte]

C/G            G
  No masters or kings
          B7/4    Em/G
When the ritual begins
          C/G         G
There is no sweeter innocence
     B7/4       Em/G
Than our gentle sin
        C/G           G
In the madness and soil
         B7/4        Em/G
Of that sad earthly scene
       C/G        G
Only then I am human
       B7/4     Em  Em/D  C7M  C/G
Only then I am clean
G  C/G  G   Cm7  G   Cm7  G
