Gli accordi e il testo della canzone prima in tutte le classifiche al mondo al momento. Una metafora della fine di un amore, come ha spiegato lo stesso Hozier: è stata scritta immediatamente dopo la rottura con una delle sue fidanzate del passato.

tabs chords lyrics
MIm LAm Mim My lover's got humour LAm SOL She's the giggle at a funeral LAm Mim Knows everybody's disapproval LAm MIm I should've worshipped her sooner LAm MIm If the Heavens ever did speak LAm SOL She is the last true mouthpiece LAm MIm Every Sunday's getting more bleak LAm RE A fresh poison each week DO/SOL 'We were born sick,' you heard them say it MIm LAm MIm My church offers no absolutes LAm SOL She tells me 'worship in the bedroom' LAm MIm The only heaven I'll be sent to LAm RE Is when I'm alone with you DO/SOL I was born sick, but I love it DO/SOL Command me to be well SOL RE SOL DO SOL DOm SOL Aaaaaaaaaaamen. Amen. Amen SOL-FA#-FA#-FA MIm Take me to church, I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies SI SOL I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife LAm Offer me that deathless death MIm LA-SOL-SOL-FA# Good God, let me give you my life (2x) MIm LAm MIm If I'm a pagan of the good times LAm SOL My lover's the sunlight LAm MIm To keep the Goddess on my side LAm RE She demands a sacrifice DO/SOL To drain the whole sea MIm Get something shiny LAm MIm Something meaty for the main course LAm SOL That's a fine looking high horse LAm MIm What you got in the stable? LAm RE We've a lot of starving faithful DO/SOL That looks tasty DO/SOL That looks plenty SOL-FA# This is hungry work FA#-FA MIm Take me to church, I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies SI SOL I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife LAm Offer me that deathless death MIm LA-SOL-SOL-FA# Good God, let me give you my life (2x) DO SOL SI MIm No masters or kings when the ritual begins DO SOL SI MIm There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin DO SOL SI MIm In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene DO SOL SI MIm Only then I am human, only then I am clean. SOL DO SOL DO SOL DOm SOL Aaaaaaaaaaamen. Amen. Amen SOL-FA#-FA#-FA MIm Take me to church, I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies SI SOL I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife LAm Offer me that deathless death MIm LA-SOL-SOL-FA# Good God, let me give you my life (2x)
