[Verse I]
F C
When I was a kid
G Am
I used to buy and sell gravity
F C
I knew how to fly
G Am
And I would teach you for a fee
F C
Broke every window
G Am
In my hotel heart
F C G Am
When I was only 5 years old but 12 years scarred
F C
And I'd hear the same voice
G Am
Echo in my mind
F C
Said, "Son you got an angel,
G Am
To chase the devil at night."
Yeah
[Chorus]
F C
When I was a kid
G Am
My grandfather was a preacher
F C
He'd talk about God
G Am
Yeah he was something like a teacher
F C
He said, "God only helps those
G Am
Who learn to help themselves."
F C
He was a million miles from a million dollars
G Am
But you could never spend his wealth
[Verse II]
F C
I took a little faith
G Am
And put it in a parking lot
F C
I drove to a strange town
G Am
Full of "have" and "have nots"
F C G Am
And as I walked through that storybook life
F C G Am
I was looking for an angel to chase the devil at night
*pause
o-o-ooh
[Chorus]
F C
When I was a kid
G Am
My grandfather was a preacher
F C
He'd talk about love
G Am
Yeah he was something like a teacher
F C
He said, "God only helps those
G Am
Who learn to help themselves."
F C
He was a million miles from a million dollars
G Am
But you could never spend his wealth
F C G Am
o-o-ooh------
F C G Am
o-o-ooh------
[Bridge]
F C
Wave
G Am
Put your hands up and hands down
F C
Wave
G Am
Put your hands up and hands down
F C
Wave
G Am
Put your hands up and hands down
[Chorus]
F C
When I was a kid
G Am
My grandfather was a preacher
F C
He'd talk about life
G Am
Yeah he was something like a teacher
F C
He said, "God only helps those
G Am
Who learn to help themselves."
F C
He was a million miles from a million dollars
G Am F C G Am
But you could never spend his wealth
F C
He was a million miles from a million dollars
G Am F C G Am
But you could never spend his wealth
