[Em] My lover's got [Am] humour [Em] ,
she's the giggle at a [Am] funeral [G]
Knows everybody's disap [Am] proval
[Em] I should've worshipped her [Am] sooner
[Em] If the Heavens ever [Am] did speak
[Em] she is the last true [Am] mouthpiece [G]
Every Sunday's getting [Am] more bleak
[Em] A fresh poison [Am] each [D] week
We were born sick,
[C] you heard them say it [Em]
My church offers no ab- [Am] solutes
[Em] She tells me 'worship in the [Am] bedroom
[G] The only heaven I'll be [Am] sent to
[Em] Is when I'm alone [Am] with [D] you
I was born sick,
[C] but I love it command me to be well
[C] A- [G] men, [Cm] A- [G] men [Cm] A- [G] men
[E] Take me to [Em] church I'll worship
like a dog at the shrine of your [B] lies
I'll tell you my sins and
you can sharpen your [G] knife
Offer me that death- [Am] less death
Good [Em] God,
let me give you my [Am] life [G] .. [F#] .. [Em]
[Em] If I'm a pagan of the [Am] good times
[Em] my lover's the [Am] sunlight [G]
To keep the Goddess on [Am] my side
[Em] she demands a sacri- [Am] fice [D]
To drain the whole sea [C] get something shiny
[Em] something meaty for the [Am] main course
[Em] that's a fine looking [Am] high horse [G]
What you got in the [Am] stable?
[Em] we've a lot of starving [Am] faithful [D]
That looks tasty
[C] that looks plenty, this is hungry work
[C] No masters [G] or kings
when the [B7] ritual be- [Em] gins
There is [C] no sweeter [G] innocence
than [B7] our gentle [Em] sin
In the [C] madness and
[G] soil of that [B7] sad earthly [Em] scene
Only [C] then I am [G] human
Only [B7] then I am [Em] clean [D] [G] [C]
[C] A- [G] men, [Cm] A- [G] men, , [Cm] A- [G] men
