Verse:
Em               Am7 Em                       Am7 G*
   My lover's got humor, she's the giggle at a funeral
                         Am7 Em                            Am7 Em
Knows everybody's disapproval, I should've worshipped her sooner
                    Am7      Em                     Am7      G*
If the Heavens ever did speak, she's the last true mouthpiece
                        Am7     Em                 Am7     D
Every Sunday's getting more bleak, a fresh poison each week
                  Cadd9
We were born sick, you heard them say it
Em                   Am7     Em                              Am7     G*
 My church offers no absolutes, she tells me 'worship in the bedroom'
                        Am7   Em                   Am7    D
The only heaven I'll be sent to is when I'm alone with you
               Cadd9
I was born sick, but I love it. Command me to be well
            G  C  G  C  G  Cm7 G
Ay Ay Ay Ay Ay Amen  Amen  Amen
 
Chorus:
           Em
Take me to church I'll worship 
                                  Bm9
Like a dog at the shrine of your lies
                                                 C*
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
                G                   C                       G
Offer me that deathless death, good God, let me give you my life
G G/F#     Em                                                   Bm9
Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
                                                C*
I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
               G                    C                       G    G D/F#
Offer me that deathless death, good God, let me give you my life
 
Verse:
Em                      Am7     Em                Am7     G*
 If I'm a pagan of the good times, my lover's the sunlight
                       Am7   Em                 Am7    D
To keep the Goddess on my side she demands a sacrifice
                   Cadd9
Drain the whole sea, get something shiny
Em                       Am7       Em                       Am7        G*
 Something meaty for the main course, that's a fine looking high horse
                     Am7   Em                        Am7     D
What you got in the stable? We've a lot of starving faithful
                 Cadd9
That looks tasty, that looks plenty, this is hungry work
 
Chorus:
G  G/F#    Em
Take me to church I'll worship 
                                  Bm9
Like a dog at the shrine of your lies
                                                 C
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
                G                   C                       G
Offer me that deathless death, good God, let me give you my life
G D/F#     Em                                                   Bm9
Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
                                                C
I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
               G                    Em
Offer me that deathless death, good God, let me give you my life
 
Bridge:
C          G                  B         Em
 No masters or kings when the ritual begins
          C         G              B          Em
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
        C           G           B             Em
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
       C        G            B         Em   D  Cadd9
Only then I am human, only then I am clean    
 
Chorus:
           Em
Take me to church I'll worship 
                                  Bm9
Like a dog at the shrine of your lies
                                                 C
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
                G                   C                       G
Offer me that deathless death, good God, let me give you my life
           Em                                                   Bm9
Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
                                                C
I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
               G                    C                        G   D/F#  Em
Offer me that deathless death, good God, let me give you my life
