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

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

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
