Hozier - Take Me To Church

[ 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 ]
