[Verse 1]
Em Am Em Am G My lover's got humor, she's the giggle at a funeral Am Em Am Em Knows everybody's disapproval, I should've worshipped her sooner Am Em Am G If the Heavens ever did speak, she’s the last true mouthpiece Am Em Am D Every Sunday's getting more bleak, a fresh poison each week C We were born sick, you heard them say it Em Am Em Am G My church offers no absolutes, she tells me 'worship in the bedroom' Am Em Am D The only heaven I'll be sent to 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 A-A-A-A-A- Amen Amen Amen
[Chorus]

(E)--3-2--2-1--| Em B7 Take me to church 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 Em ** (E)--5-3--3-2--| Offer me that deathless death, good God, let me give you my life Em B7 Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies G I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife Am Em ** Offer me that deathless death, good God, let me give you my life
[Verse 2]
Em Am Em Am G If I'm a pagan of the good times, my lover's the sunlight Am Em Am D To keep the Goddess on my side she demands a sacrifice C Drain the whole sea, get something shiny Em Am Em Am G Something meaty for the main course, that's a fine looking high horse Am Em Am D What you got in the stable? We've a lot of starving faithful C That looks tasty, that looks plenty, this is hungry work
[Chorus]
* Em B7 Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies G I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife Am Em ** Offer me my deathless death, good God, let me give you my life Em B7 Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies G I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife Am Em ** Offer me my deathless death, good God, let me give you my life
[Bridge]
C G B7 Em No masters or kings when the ritual begins C G B7 Em There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin C G B7 Em In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene C G B7 Em D G/B C Only then I am human, only then I am clean Oh G C G Cm G Cm G Oh Amen Amen Amen
[Chorus]
* Em B7 Take me to church 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 Em ** Offer me that deathless death, good God, let me give you my life Em B7 Take me to church 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 Em ** Em Offer me that deathless death, good God, let me give you my life
