[Verse]
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/G
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/G C/G
I was born sick, but I love it. Command me to be well
G2 C2 G2 Cm G2 Cm G2
Ay Ay Ay Ay Ay Amen Amen Amen
[Chorus]
G5-F#5 F#5-F5 Em*
Take me to church I'll worship
B*
Like a dog at the shrine of your lies
G2
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Am* Em* A5-G5 G5-F#5
Offer me that deathless death, good God, let me give you my life
Em* B*
Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
G2
I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
Am* Em* A5-G5 G5-F#5
Offer me that deathless death, good God, let me give you my life
[Verse]
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/G
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/G C/G
That looks tasty, that looks plenty, this is hungry work
[Chorus]
G5-F#5 F#5-F5 Em*
Take me to church I'll worship
B*
Like a dog at the shrine of your lies
G2
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Am* Em* A5-G5 G5-F#5
Offer me that deathless death, good God, let me give you my life
Em* B*
Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
G2
I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
Am* Em* A5-G5 G5-F#5
Offer me that deathless death, good God, let me give you my life
[Bridge]
C/G G B7 Em
No masters or kings when the ritual begins
C/G G B7 Em
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
C/G G B7 Em
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
C/G G B7 Em D Cmaj7 C
Only then I am human, only then I am clean
G2 C2 G2 Cm G2 Cm G2
Oh Amen Amen Amen
[Chorus]
G5-F#5 F#5-F5 Em*
Take me to church I'll worship
B*
Like a dog at the shrine of your lies
G2
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Am* Em* A5-G5 G5-F#5
Offer me that deathless death, good God, let me give you my life
Em* B*
Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
G2
I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
Am* Em* A5-G5 G5-F#5
Offer me that deathless death, good God, let me give you my life

Good job! But the C in the verse is actually a C/G, right?
+4
The Live in Paris version is actually a whole step down. The chords are all correct, though, I think,
+2
Yes - it def not in std tuning. Chords look right but should be dropped a whole step.
