"Sir they've all gone off to him"
       G            D
I said to that baptizer
   F#m                 Hm
We watched as all his friends
  G                D
Left him in the dust
        F#m   Hm
"It's a cold world
       G                  D
And we all just need the Son"

He said with a smile  
 
Chorus:
          D            F#m
I choose altars over stages
       Hm           G
Cause heaven is my wages
D                 F#m
I don't need the spotlight
    Hm               G
So make me a silhouette
          D         F#m
I won't fret I don't care
         Hm         G
You can take me anywhere

Heaven is my wages
          Hm           G
I choose altars over stages

2 Verse:
      F#m           Hm
Even angels in the sky
     G                  D
Can fall down to the depths
            F#m               Hm
Clip their wings with their pride
     G                    D
And rot whats in their chest
            F#m         Hm
The funny thing about pride
             G                D
Is that you have it all your life
         F#m                  Hm
But the moment you think you dont
     G              D
Its gotten in your eyes

Has it gotten in my eyes?

Oooh
