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 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 

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 

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

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
