 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
                     Em    G
She is the last true mouthpiece
                         Am   Em
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
                Am   Dsus4
A fresh poison each week
                    C
'We were born sick,' you heard them say it
Em                   Am   Em
My church offers no absolution
                              Am  G
She tells me 'worship in the bedroom'
                        Am
The only heaven I'll be sent to
Em                Am
Is when I'm alone with you
Dsus4                 C
I was born sick, but I love it
C
Command me to be well
 G    C G   C G Cm G
Amen. Amen. Amen

[CHORUS x2]
           Em
Take me to church
                                                 Bm
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
Good God, let me give you my life

Em                     Am   Em
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  Dsus4
She demands a sacrifice
Dsus4
To drain the whole sea
C
Get something shiny
Em                      Am    Em
Something meaty for the main course
                        Am G
That's a fine looking high horse
                     Am  Em
What you got in the stable?
                        Am
We've a lot of starving faithful
Dsus4
That looks tasty
C
That looks plenty
C
This is hungry work

           Em
Take me to church
                                                 Bm
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
Good God, let me give you my life

[BRIDGE]
C       G                       Bm
No masters or kings when the ritual begins
            C       G               Bm        Em
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
         C          G            Bm           Em
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
       C         G
Only then I am human
      D           Em  D C G
Only then I am clean
C G    Cm G Cm G
Amen. Amen. Amen

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
Good God, let me give you my life
