Verse 1:
Am9                Dm9
    My lover's got humour
Am13                     Dm9
    He's the giggle at a funeral
Cmaj7                     Dm9
    Knows everybody's disapproval
Am9                            Dm9
    I should've worshipped him sooner
Am9                     Dm9
    If the heavens ever did speak
Am9                    Dm9
    He's the last true mouthpiece
Cmaj7                      Dm9
    Every Sunday's getting more bleak
Am9                Dm9
    A fresh poison every week
G                  F(add2)
    We were born sick, I heard them say
Am9                      Dm9
    My church offers no absolutes
Am13                              Dm
    He says me, "Worship in the bedroom"
Cmaj7                       Dm9
    The only heaven I'll be sent to
Am9                   Dm9
    Is when I'm alone with you
G                 F(add2)
    I was born sick, but I love it
F

    Command me to be well

E7                                                 C

Verse 2:
Am9                      Dm9
   If I'm a pagan of the good times
Am13              Dm9
   My lover's the sunlight
Cmaj7                      Dm9
    To keep the goddess on my side
Am9               Dm9
    He demands a sacrifice
G(add2)
    To drain the whole sea
F(add2)
    Get something shiny
Am9                         Dm9
    Something meaty for the main course
Am                        Dm9
    That's a fine looking high horse
Cmaj7                   Dm9
    What you got in the stable?
Am                          Dm

  That looks plenty

Only then I am clean
