Fm             A#m    Fm
My lover’s got humour,
                      A#m   G#
She’s the giggle at a funeral,
                       A#m   Fm
Knows everybody’s disapproval,
                           A#m  Fm
I should’ve worshipped her sooner.
                    A#m      Fm
If the heavens ever did speak,
                    A#m       G#
She’s the last true mouthpiece.
                       A#m       Fm
Every Sunday’s getting more bleak,
               A#m      D#
A fresh poison each week.
                   C#6
“We were born sick.” You heard them say it.

Fm                  A#m    Fm
My church offers no absolutes.
                              A#m    G#
She tells me, “Worship in the bedroom.”
                        A#m    Fm
The only heaven I’ll be sent to
                  A#m     D#
Is when I’m alone with you.
               C#6
I was born sick, but I love it.
C#                  G#
Command me to be well.
C# G#   C#m G#  C#m G# G#5 G5
Amen, amen, amen.

Chorus:
     G5  F#5    Fm
     Take me to church.
                                                   C
     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.
                   A#m
     Offer me that deathless death,
               Fm                        A#5 G#5
     And, good God, let me give you my life.

     G#5   G5   Fm
     Take me to church.
                                                   C
     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.
                   A#m
     Offer me that deathless death,
               Fm                        A#5 G#5 G#5 G5
     And, good God, let me give you my life.

Fm                    A#m      Fm
If I’m a pagan of the good times,
               A#m    G#
My lover’s the sunlight.
                       A#m  Fm
To keep the goddess on my side,
                A#m    D#
She demands a sacrifice.
                    C#6
To drain the whole sea,
                  Fm
Get something shiny.

                        A#m       Fm
Something meaty for the main course,
                      A#m       G#
That’s a fine-looking high horse.
                    A#m   Fm
What you got in the stable?
                        A#m    D#
We’ve a lot of starving faithful.
              C#
That looks tasty;
              C#
That looks plenty.
              C#
This is hungry work.

                                                    G#
     I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife.
                   A#m
     Offer me that deathless death,
               Fm                        A#5 G#5
     And, good God, let me give you my life.

     And, good God, let me give you my life.

 C#            G#                 C7    Fm
   No masters or kings when the ritual begins.
 Fm         C#          G#         C7         Fm
   There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin.
 Fm       C#           G#       C7            Fm
   In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene,
 Fm     C#         G#
   Only then I am human;
     C7       Fm   G#
   Only then I am clean.
   C#

   Oh, amen, amen, amen.
