Before the Chorus begins and after the final G in the Chorus the piano plays an easy tab, Which you can play like this on the guitar:Instead of this tab you can also play the chords G F#m Em 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, sheâ??s the last true mouthpiece Am Em Am D Every Sunday's getting more bleak, a fresh poison each week C 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 C I was born sick, but I love it, Command me to be well G C G Cm G Cm G Ay Ay Ay Ay Ay Amen Amen Amen Em B7 Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies G I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife Am Em G Offer me that deathless death, good God, let me give you my life Em B7 Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies G I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife Am Em G Offer me that deathless death, good God, let me give you my life 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 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 C That looks tasty, that looks plenty, this is hungry work Em B7 Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies G I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife Am Em G Offer me that deathless death, good God, let me give you my life Em B7 Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies G I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife Am Em G Offer me that deathless death, good God, let me give you my life C G B7 Em No masters or kings when the ritual begins C G B7 Em There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin C G B7 Em In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene C G B7 Em D C Only then I am human, only then I am clean Em B7 Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies G I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife Am Em G Offer me that deathless death, good God, let me give you my life Em B7 Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies G I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife Am Em G Em Offer me that deathless death, good God, let me give you my lifehide this tabA|-5-4--4-2-| E|-3-2--2-0-|
