Capo: 1st fret
[Verse 1]
G C
My lover’s got humor
A7 D
She’s the giggle at a funeral
G C
Knows everybody’s disapproval
A7 D
I should’ve worshipped her sooner
G C
If the heavens ever did speak
A7 D
She’s the last true mouthpiece
G C
Every Sunday’s getting more bleak
A7 D
A fresh poison each week
A7 D
“We were born sick”, you heard them say it
[Verse 2]
G C
My church offers no absolutes
A7 D
She tells me “Worship in the bedroom”
G C
The only Heaven I’ll be sent to
A7 D
Is when I’m alone with you
A7 D
I was born sick, but I love it
A7 D
Command me to be well
[Pre-Chorus]
G C G
Amen
C G
Amen
Cm G
Amen
[Chorus]
G
Take me to church
C A7
I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
D G
I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
C
Offer me that deathless death
A7 D
Good God, let me give you my life
G
Take me to church
C A7
I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
D G
I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
C
Offer me that deathless death
A7 D
Good God, let me give you my life
[Verse 3]
G C
If I’m a pagan of the good times
G C
My lover’s the sunlight
A7 D
To keep the goddess on my side
A7 D
She demands a sacrifice
A7 D
Drain the whole sea, get something shiny
G C
Something meaty for the main course
G C
That’s a fine looking high horse
A7 D
What you got in the stable?
A7 D
We’ve a lot of starving faithful
A7 D
That looks tasty, that looks plenty
A7 D
This is hungry work
[Chorus]
G
Take me to church
C A7
I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
D G
I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
C
Offer me that deathless death

Good God, let me give you my life
G
Take me to church
C A7
I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
D G
I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
C
Offer me that deathless death
A7 D
Good God, let me give you my life
[Bridge]
C G A7
No masters or kings when the ritual begins
C G A7
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
C G A7
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
C G A7 G
Only then I am human, only then I am clean
[Pre-Chorus]
C G
Amen
C G
Amen
Cm G
Amen
[Chorus]
