Guitar chords with lyrics

Capo on 2nd

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

I chose

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

Chorus:
I chose
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

D      C#m      Gm      D


Chorus:
I chose
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
