Intro:

D   C#m   Gm   D  (x2)

Verse:
D       C#m       Gm
“Sir they’ve all gone off to him”
    D       D
I said to that baptizer
  C#m         Gm
We watched as all his friends
D         D
Leave him in the dust
    C#m  Gm
It’s a cold world.
    D         D
And we all just need the son
  C#m     Gm   D
He said with a smile

Chorus:
D       C#m
Altars over stages
   Gm      D
Cause heaven is my wages
D         C#m
I don’t need the spotlight
  Gm      D
So make me a silhouette
    D
I won’t fret
    C#m
I don’t care
    Gm    A  D
you can take me anywhere
  D       C#m
For heaven is my wages
    Gm      D
I chose altars over stages
D   C#m   Gm   D


Verse:
D   C#m
Even angels in the sky
Gm  D         D
 Can fall down to the depths
      C#m        Gm
Clip their wings with their pride
  D          D
And rot what’s in their chest
     C#m     Gm
The funny thing about pride
      D         D
Is that you have it all your life
    C#m          Gm
But the moment you think you don’t
   D        D
It’s gotten in your eyes
C#m  Gm
woah ohh
    D       D
has it gotten in my eyes
C#m  Gm  D
woah ohh
