Verse 1:
Em Am Em
My lover's got humour

Knows everybody's disapproval

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

I was born sick, but I love it
Command me to be well

Get something shiny

Something meaty for the main course

This is hungry work
