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

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)


 [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

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