C    G  Em  Dsus4   D

[Verse 1]
C  G            Em       Dsus4
    I don't see anything wrong
             D
    with the lights or stages
C  G                     Em
 I even love it when the crowd
      Dsus4        D
 gets loud singing out God's praises
C    G             Em  Dsus4
 But every now and then,
              D
 it can get a little complicated
C   G          Em   Dsus4
 So I remember when I was in
                 D
 that old church basement, singing

       D
 wasn't trying to bе famous
C    G               Em Dsus4
 But we sure touched Heaven in

 that old church basement

[Chorus]
C      G      Dsus4 Em
