Take Me To Church - Hozier

Verse 1
My lovers got humour
B A G A A E 
She's the giggle at a funeral
G D D E G G A G G 
Knows everybody's disapproval
B B B D B A G A G 
I should've worshipped her sooner

If the heavens ever did speak
B B A G A G A E 
She's the last true mouthpiece
G D D E G A G 
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
B B D B A G A G 
A fresh poison each week
G D E G A A G 
My church offers no absolutes
B A G A G A A G E 
She tells me, 'worship in the bedroom'
D G D D E G E A G 
The only heaven I'll be sent to
B B B D B A G A G 
Is when I'm alone with you
E G D E G A A G 
I was born sick, but I love it
B B A G G G A A G G 
Command me to be well
G A B A G G

If I'm a pagan of the good times

My lover's the sunlight

To keep the Goddess on my side
G G G G F# E F# D 
She demands a sacrifice
G G G F# E F# D 
Drain the whole sea, get something shiny

Something meaty for the main course

That's a fine looking high horse

What you got in that stable?

That looks tasty, that looks plenty

This is hungry work

Bridge:
No Masters or Kings
B C C B A B 
When the ritual begins

In the madness and soil

Only then I am clean
