is a great acoustic version of this song that I based this tab off.
In the chorus a B or B7 is fine depending if you're playing the original or acoustic version.
B7  = x2120x in Hozier's version
A5  = 57xxxx
G5  = 35xxxx
F#5 = 24xxxx
F5  = 13xxxx

[Verse 1]
Em             Am    Em
My lover's got humour
                      Am     G
She's the giggle at a funeral
                       Am    Em
Knows everybody's disapproval
                           Am    Em
I should've worshipped her sooner
                    Am       Em
If the heavens ever did speak
                    Am        G
She's the last true mouthpiece
                       Am        Em
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
               Am       D
A fresh poison each week
                  C                     
We were born sick, you heard them say it
Em                  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
                C             
I was born sick, but I love it
C                    
Command me to be well
      G     C     G     Cm    G    Cm  G  G5 F#5
Aaaaaaaaaa  Aaaaaaamen  Aaaaaamen  A - men

[Chorus]
F#5  F5       Em 
Take me to church
                                               B7 
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
                                                 G  
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
              Am             
Offer me that deathless death
          Em                       A5G5
And good God, let me give you my life
G5   F#5      Em 
Take me to church
                                               B7 
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
                                                 G  
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
              Am             
Offer me that deathless death
         Em                        A5G5 G5 F#5
And good God, let me give you my life

[Verse 2]
Em                    Am      Em
If I'm a pagan of the good times
               Am      G
My lover's the sunlight
                       Am   Em
To keep the goddess on my side
              Am     
She demands sacrifice
D                     
To drain the whole sea
C                  
Get something shiny
Em                      Am         Em
Something meaty for the main course
                      Am        G
That's a fine looking high horse
                    Am     Em
What you got in the stable?
                        Am      
We've a lot of starving faithful
D               
That looks tasty
C                
That looks plenty
C                  
This is hungry work
G5 F#5

                                                 G  
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
              Am             
Offer me that deathless death

Offer me that deathless death

And good God, let me give you my life

[Bridge]
C/G        G                 B7           Em
No masters or kings when the ritual begins
         C/G        G              B7         Em 
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
       C/G           G          B7          Em   
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
     C/G       G    
Only then I am human
     B7           EmDC
Only then I am clean
 G   C  G    Cm  G     Cm  G   G5 F#5
Oh, a - men  A - men  Aa-aa-men

                                              G  
I'll tell you my sins, you can sharpen your knife
              Am             
Offer me that deathless death

I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
              Am             
Offer me that deathless death
          Em                       A5G5 G5 F#5
And good God, let me give you my life
