B7                      A      E
So, you've left it all behind you
      C#m  E/B     A  F#m       E
For a love is only as you see it
B7                 A      E
Though so many do confide in you
   C#m    E/B      A      F#m           E
It seems you are the one that confides most

B        A  C#m B   A
But you sin as you wish

Chorus:
B7              E        C#m
Because I'm in Bethlehem
B        A          E     C#m B
I've got a seat in heaven
A               E      C#m B
And though I'm heaven sent
               B        A         G#m
I can do as I want and you don't have
     F#m       E
the right to choose

Codes, you follow codes and break them
For a love is only what does suit you most
Hope, I hope and pray for love to reign
For love is what I give through my own codes

But you sin as you wish

Chorus

E
I'm in Bethlehem
C#m                   B  A
I've got a seat in heaven
                E
And though I'm heaven sent
C#m            B  A
I can do as I want

E
I'm in Bethlehem
C#m                    B  A
I've got a seat in heaven
                E
And though I'm heaven sent
C#m            B  A
I can do as I want
