TAKE ME TO CHURCH HOZIER
TAKE ME TO CHURCH HOZIER
Em Am Em
My lover's got humour
Am G
She's the giggle at a funeral
Am Em
Knows everybody's disapproval
Am Em
I should've worshipped her sooner
Am Em
If the Heavens ever did speak
Am G
She is the last true mouth piece
Am Em
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
Am D
A fresh poison each week
C Em
'We were born sick, you heard them say it
Am Em
My church offers no absolutes
Am G
She tells me 'worship in the bedroom'
Am Em
The only heaven I'll be sent to
Am D
Is when I'm alone with you
C
I was born sick, but I love it
Command me to be well
G C G C G Cm G G-F# F#-F Em
Aaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaamen. Aaaaaaaamen. Aaaamen
Chorus x 2
------ Em
Take me to church
B
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
Offer me that deathless death
Em Am-G G-F# Em
Good God, let me give you my life
[Verse 2](2x)
Em Am Em
If I'm a pagan of the good times
Am G
My lover's the sunlight
Am Em
To keep the Goddess on my side
Am D
She demands a sacrifice
C
To drain the whole sea
Em
Get something shiny
Am Em
Something meaty for the main course
Am G
That's a fine looking high horse
Am Em
What you got in the stable?
Am D
We've a lot of starving faithful
C
That looks tasty
That looks plenty
Am - G - F#
This is hungry work
[Chorus](2x)
Em
Take me to church
B
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
Offer me that deathless death

Good God, let me give you my life ( take me to church )

In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene

Only then I am clean Oooooohh
