Take Me To Church(Chords)

	        

Em                      C     Em 
         My lover's got humour 
                      C       G 
She's the giggle at a funeral 
                  C          Em 
Knows everybody's disapproval 
                           C      Em 
I should've worshipped her sooner 
                    C         Em 
If the Heavens ever did speak 
                     C          G 
She is the last true mouthpiece 
                       C          Em 
Every Sunday's getting more bleak 
               C           A5 
A fresh poison each week 
                   Am/G 
'We were born sick,' you heard them say it 
Em                             C         Em 
           My church offers no absolutes 
                             C        G 
She tells me 'worship in the bedroom' 
                        C        Em 
The only heaven I'll be sent to 
                  C         A5          
Is when I'm alone with you 
C/G                          C/G  
             I was born sick, but I love it 
C/G 
            Command me to be well 
G          C G   C G   Cm G 
Aaaaaaaaaaamen. Amen. Amen 


  G-F#-F#-F       Em 
       Take me to church, I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies 
Bm                                                           G 
       I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife 
              A5 
Offer me that deathless death 
     Em                            G-F#-F#-F               
Good God, let me give you my life                Chorus(2x) 

Em                              C          Em 
          If I'm a pagan of the good times 
               C         G 
My lover's the sunlight 
                       C        Em 
To keep the Goddess on my side 
              C          A5 
She demands a sacrifice 
                        C/G 
To drain the whole sea 
                     Em 
Get something shiny 
                        C           Em 
Something meaty for the main course 
                      C            G 
That's a fine looking high horse 
                    C        Em 
What you got in the stable? 
                        C         G 
We've a lot of starving faithful 
                  C/G 
That looks tasty 
                   C/G 
That looks plenty 
               G-F#              
This is hungry work      


F#-F       Em 
Take me to church, I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies 
Bm                                                          G 
      I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife 
              A5 
Offer me that deathless death 
     Em                      G-F#-F#-F               
Good God, let me give you my life   (2x) 
 
        


 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 
Only then I am human, only then I am clean. 
G          C G   C G   Cm G 
Aaaaaaaaaaamen. Amen. Amen

              A5 
Offer me that deathless death 
     Em                            G-F#-F#-F
