F                C             G             Am 
   When I was a kid I used to buy and sell gravity
F                 C               G        Am 
   I knew how to fly And I would teach you for a fee
F                C            G    Am 
   Broke every window In my hotel heart
F                    C                  G            Am 
   When I was only five years old but twelve years scarred
F                     C          G        Am 
   And I'd hear the same voice Echo in my mind
F                        C                    G       Am 
   Said, "Son you got an angel, To chase the devil at night."

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



F            C               G          Am 
   I took a little faith And put in a parking lot
F                C                    G       Am 
   I drove to a strange town 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
Oh! Oh! Oh!

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
