F C G Am
[Verse 1]
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
When I was only 5 years old
G Am
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 2]
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
And as I walked through
G Am
that storybook life
F C
I was looking for an angel
G Am
to chase the devil at night
[Mute]
Oh! Oh! Oh!
[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
[Interlude/Bridge]
F C G Am
Oh! Oh! Oh!
F C G Am
Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!
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] (Hard + thumb)
