[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] C Em Am F C Em Am F [Chorus]
          C            Em
