Lyrics

My lov er’s got (Am)hu mour, she’s the gig gle at a (Am)fu n’ral.

Ev ’ry Sun day’s get ting (Am)more bleak, a fresh poi son (Am)each week.

“We were born sick,” you heard them say it.

My church of fers no (Am)ab so lutes.

She tells me, “Wor ship in the (Am)bed room.” The on ly heav en I’ll be (Am)sent to is when I’m a lone (Am)with you.

I was born sick, but I love it, com mand me to be well.

A

(C)a (G)men, (Cm6)a (G)men, (Cm6)a (G)men.

Take me to church, I’ll wor ship like a dog at the shrine of your lies.

I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharp en your knife.

Of fer me that (Am)death less death and, good God, let me give you my life.

Take me to church, I’ll wor ship like a dog at the shrine of your lies, I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharp en your knife.

Of fer me that (Am)death less death and, good God, let me give you my life.

If I’m a pa gan of the (Am)good times, my lov er’s the (Am)sun light.

To keep the god dess on my side, she de mands a sac ri fice.

Drain the whole sea, get some thing shin y.

Some thing meat y for the (Am)main course, that’s a fine look ing (Am)high horse.

Take me to church, let me give you my life.

No mas ters or kings when the (B7)ri tu al be (Em)gins.

There is (C)no sweet er in no cence than (B7)our gen tle sin.

In the (C)mad ness and (G)soil of that sad earth ly (Em)scene, on ly (C)then I am (G)hu man, on ly (B7)then I am clean.

Oh,
