Take Me To Church

    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 mouthpiece
                        Am         Em
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
               Am        D9
А 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      D9
Is when I'm alone with you
            C
I was born sick, but I love it
Command me to be well

  Amen,  Amen,  Amen,  Amen

                 Em
    Take me to church
    Em                                             B7
    I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
    B7                                               G
    I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
    G              Am
    Offer me that deathless death
          Em
    Good God, let me give you my life

          Em           Am  
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           D9
She demands a sacrifice
               C
To drain the whole sea
                C 
Get something shiny
           Am            Em
Something meaty for the main course
          Am           G
That's a fine looking high horse
          C           Em
What you got in the stable?
         Am              D9
We've a lot of starving faithful
            C
That looks tasty
             C
That looks plenty
                C
This is hungry work

                 Em

    B7                                               G
    I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
    G              Am
    Offer me that deathless death
          Em
    Good God, let me give you my life

    C          G              B7/F#    Em/G
No masters or kings when the ritual begins
          C              G             B7/F#   Em/G
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
        C           G      B7/F#             Em/G
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
       C        G
Only then I am human
      B7/F#      Em  Em/D  Cmaj7  C
Only then I am clean

    Good God, let me give you my life
