1. [Em] My lover's got [Am] humour [Em], she's the giggle at a [Am] funeral [G]
Knows everybody's disap[Am] proval [Em] I should've worshipped her [Am] sooner [Em]
If the Heavens ever [Am] did speak [Em] she is the last true [Am] mouthpiece [G]
Every Sunday's getting[Am] more bleak [Em] A fresh poison [Am] each [D] week
We were born sick,[C] ' you heard them say it [Em]
My church offers no ab-[Am] solutes [Em] She tells me 'worship in the [Am] bedroom [G]
The only heaven I'll be [Am] sent to [Em] Is when I'm alone [Am] with [D] you
I was born sick,[C] but I love it command me to be well
[C] A-[G] men,[Cm] A-[G] men, ,[Cm] A-[G] men
Chorus:
[E] Take me to [Em] church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your [B] lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your [G] knife
Offer me that death-[Am] less death
Good [Em] God, let me give you my [Am] life [G] [F#] [Em]
[E] Take me to [Em] church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your [B] lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your [G] knife
Offer me that death-[Am] less death
Good [Em] God, let me give you my [Am] life [G] [F#] [Em]
2. [Em] If I'm a pagan of the [Am] good times [Em] my lover's the [Am] sunlight [G]
To keep the Goddess on [Am] my side [Em] she demands a sacri-[Am] fice [D]
To drain the whole sea [C] get something shiny [Em]
something meaty for the [Am] main course [Em] that's a fine looking [Am] high horse [G]
What you got in the [Am] stable? [Em] we've a lot of starving [Am] faithful [D]
That looks tasty [C] that looks plenty, this is hungry work
Repeat chorus -----
Bridge:
[C] No masters [G] or kings when the [B7] ritual be-[Em] gins
There is [C] no sweeter [G] innocence than [B7] our gentle [Em] sin
In the [C] madness and [G] soil of that [B7] sad earthly [Em] scene
Only [C] then I am [G] human
Only [B7] then I am [Em] clean [D] [G] [C]
[C] A-[G] men,[Cm] A-[G] men, ,[Cm] A-[G] men
