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# Em
Aaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaamen. Aaaaaaaamen. Amen
[Chorus](2x)
Em
Take me to church
B7
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#
Good God, let me give you
my life
[Verse 2]
Em Am
If I'm a pagan of the
good times
Em Am
My lover's the sunlight
G Am
To keep the Goddess on my
side
Em Am
She demands a sacrifice
D
To drain the whole sea
C
Get something shiny
Em 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
We've a lot of starving
faithful
D
That looks tasty
C
That looks plenty
C
This is hungry work
G-F#/F# Em
[Chorus](2x)
Em
Take me to church
B7
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#
Good God, let me give you
my life
[Bridge]
C G B7 Em
No masters or kings when
the ritual begins
C G B7 Em
There is no sweeter
innocence than our gentle sin
C G B7 Em
In the madness and soil
of that sad earthly scene
C
G
Only then I am human
B7 Em D
C
Only then I am clean
G C
G Cm G
Cm G G-F#/F# Em
Amen. Amen. Amen
[Chorus]
Em
Take me to church
B7
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#
Good God, let me give you
my life
