D#m             G#m    D#m
My lover’s got humour,
                      G#m   F#
She’s the giggle at a funeral,
                       G#m   D#m
Knows everybody’s disapproval,
                           G#m  D#m
I should’ve worshipped her sooner.
                    G#m      D#m
If the heavens ever did speak,
                    G#m       F#
She’s the last true mouthpiece.
                       G#m       D#m
Every Sunday’s getting more bleak,
               G#m      C#
A fresh poison each week.
                   B6
“We were born sick.” You heard them say it.

D#m                  G#m    D#m
My church offers no absolutes.
                              G#m    F#
She tells me, “Worship in the bedroom.”
                        G#m    D#m
The only heaven I’ll be sent to
                  G#m     C#
Is when I’m alone with you.
               B6
I was born sick, but I love it.
B                  F#
Command me to be well.
B F#   Bm F#  Bm F# F#5 F5
Amen, amen, amen.

Chorus:
     F5  E5    D#m
     Take me to church.
                                                   A#
     I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies.
                                                    F#
     I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife.
                   G#m
     Offer me that deathless death,
               D#m                        G#5 F#5
     And, good God, let me give you my life.

     F#5   F5   D#m
     Take me to church.
                                                   A#
     I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies.
                                                    F#
     I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife.
                   G#m
     Offer me that deathless death,
               D#m                        G#5 F#5 F#5 F5
     And, good God, let me give you my life.

D#m                    G#m      D#m
If I’m a pagan of the good times,
               G#m    F#
My lover’s the sunlight.
                       G#m  D#m
To keep the goddess on my side,
                G#m    C#
She demands a sacrifice.
                    B6
To drain the whole sea,
                  D#m
Get something shiny.

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

Chorus:
                D#m

                                                   A#
     I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies.
                                                    F#
     I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife.
                   G#m
     Offer me that deathless death,
               D#m                        G#5 F#5
     And, good God, let me give you my life.

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

 B            F#                 A#7    D#m
   No masters or kings when the ritual begins.
 D#m         B          F#         A#7         D#m
   There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin.
 D#m       B           F#       A#7            D#m
   In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene,
 D#m     B         F#
   Only then I am human;
     A#7       D#m   F#
   Only then I am clean.
   B
   Oh,

   Oh, amen, amen, amen.
