my lover's got humour

knows everybody's disapproval
Em Am
i should've worshipped her sooner

if the heavens ever did speak
Em Am
she is the last true mouth piece
G Am
every Sunday's getting more bleak
Em Am
a fresh poison each week
D
we were born sick,
C

Em Am
my church offers no absolutes
Em Am
she tells me 'worship in the bedroom
G Am
the only heaven i'll be sent to
Em Am
is when i'm alone with you
