Tom: F#m

F#m             Bm    F#m
My lover's got humour
                       Bm     A
She's the giggle at a funeral
                       Bm     F#m
Knows everybody's disapproval
                            Bm    F#m
I should've worshipped her sooner
                     Bm     F#m
If the Heavens ever did speak
                     Bm      A
She is the last true mouth piece
                        Bm      F#m
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
                Bm    E
A fresh poison each week
                   D                      A
'I was born sick, but I love it
Command me to be well

[Instrumental]
D      A     Bm       A    D        A   A G#  G# G
Aaaaaaaaa    aaaaaaaaamen. Aaaaaaaamen. Amen

[Chorus]
              F#m
Take me to church
                                               C#7
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
                                                A
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
                 Bm
Offer me that deathless death
 F#m                   A G# G# G  = *power chords
Good God, let me give you my life

[Verse 2]
F#m                     Bm
If I'm a pagan of the good times
F#m                Bm
My lover's the sunlight
A                    Bm
To keep the Goddess on my side
F#m             Bm
She demands a sacrifice
E
To drain the whole sea
D
Get something shiny

F#m                     Bm         F#m
Something meaty for the main course
                       Bm          A
That's a fine looking high horse
                    Bm        F#m
What you got in the stable?
                         Bm
We've a lot of starving faithful

E
That looks tasty
D
That looks plenty
D
This is hungry work

[Instrumental]
A G#  G# G

[Chorus] x2
              F#m
Take me to church
                                               C#7
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
                                                A
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
                 Bm
Offer me that deathless death
 F#m                   A G# G# G  = *power chords
Good God, let me give you my life

[Bridge]
D            A                C#7           F#m
No masters or kings when the ritual begins
        D            A             C#7           F#m
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
        D            A             C#7           F#m
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
    D            A
Only then I am human

      C#7           F#m     E     D
Only then I am clean
A      D     A       Bm       A      D A   A G#  G# G
Amen. Amen. Amen

[Chorus] x2
              F#m
Take me to church
                                               C#7
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
                                                A
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
                 Bm
Offer me that deathless death
 F#m                   A  G# G# G  = *power chords
Good God, let me give you my life
