Take Me To Church


C# BA B BF#
My lover's got humour

A E EF# A F# B A
She's the giggle at a funeral

C# C#C#EC# BABA
Knows everybody's disapproval

A AA E F# A B A
I should've worshipped her sooner

C#C# B A B A B F#
If the heavens ever did speak

A E EF# A B A
She's the last true mouthpiece

C#C# EC# BA B A
Every Sunday's getting more bleak

A E F#AB B A
A fresh poison each week

C# C# BA A F# A B BA A
'We were born sick, ' you heard them say it

C# B BAB B BAF#
My Church offers no absolutes

E A E EF# A F# B A
She tells me, 'Worship in the bedroom.'

C# C#C#EC# B A B A
The only heaven I'll be sent to

F# A E F#A B BA
Is when I'm alone with you

C#C# BA A
I was born sick,

A B BA A
But I love it

A B C# B A A
Command me to be well

If I'm a pagan of the good times

F# F#C# C# EF#
My lover's the sunlight

A A A AG# F# G# E
To keep the Goddess on my side

A AA G# F#G#E
She demands a sacrifice

E E F# A
Drain the whole sea

E EE F#A
Get something shiny

F#F# F#C#C#C# E F#
Something meaty for the main course

F# F# F# C#C# E F#
That's a fine looking high horse

A A A G#F# G#F#E
What you got in the stable?

F# F#F#C# C#C# E F#
We've a lot of starving faithful

When the Ritual begins

B C#D DC#BA AC#B ABC#B B A A
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin

In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
