[Intro]
C Em Am F
C Em Am F
C
 
 
[Verse 1]
             Em              Am
"Sir they've all gone off to him"
       F            C
I said to that baptizer
   Em                  Am
We watched as all his friends
  F                C
Left him in the dust
        Em    Am
"It's a cold world
       F                  C
And we all just need the Son"
    Em          Am    F
He said with a smile
 
 
[Chorus]
          C            Em
I choose altars over stages
       Am           F
Cause heaven is my wages
C                 Em
I don't need the spotlight
    Am               F
So make me a silhouette
          C
I won't fret
         Em
I don't care
         Am         F
You can take me anywhere
 C            Em
Heaven is my wages
          Am           F
I choose altars over stages
 
 
[Interlude]
C Em Am F C
 
 
[Verse 2]
      Em            Am
Even angels in the sky
     F                  C
Can fall down to the depths
            Em                Am
Clip their wings with their pride
     F                    C
And rot whats in their chest
            Em          Am
The funny thing about pride
             F                C
Is that you have it all your life
         Em                   Am
But the moment you think you dont
     F              C
Its gotten in your eyes 
 Em Am
Oooh..
        F           C
Has it gotten in my eyes? 
 Em Am F
Oooh
 
 
[Chorus]
          C            Em
I choose altars over stages
       Am           F
Cause heaven is my wages
C                 Em
I don't need the spotlight
    Am               F
So make me a silhouette
          C
I won't fret
         Em
I don't care
         Am         F
You can take me anywhere
 C            Em
Heaven is my wages
          Am           F
I choose altars over stages
 
 
[Interlude]

Cause heaven is my wages

Thank you for getting this out so quick! Such a great song!

I'm a beginner to the guitar so I dont know how useful this really is,but I've been playing D-D-DU-DU and it sounds alright with the song playing. Again, if it sounds terrible I'm really sorry! lol

love this 😍 thank you!👍
