C            G
When I was a kid
          D           Em
I used to buy and sell gravity
C             G
I knew how to fly
            D         Em
And I could teach you for a fee
C           G
Break every window
      D     Em
In my hotel heart
C          G               D       Em
I was only 5 years old but 12 years scarred
C                G
And I'd hear the same voice
D          Em
Echo in my mind
C                    G
Said 'son you got an angel,
             D            Em
To chase the devil at the light

Chorus:
C            G
When I was a kid
        D            Em
My grandfather was a preacher
C               G
He'd talk about God
            D                Em
Yeah he was something like a teacher
C                G
He said God only helps those
    D        Em
Who learn to help themselves
C                             G
He was a million miles from a million dollars
    D               Em
But you could never spend his wealth


Verse 2:
C        G
I took a little faith
    D           Em
And put it in a parking lot
C            G
I drove to a strange town
        D        Em
Full of have and have nots
C        G                   D         Em
And as I walked through that storybook life
C                    G                  D            Em (let it ring)
I was looking for an angel to chase the devil at the light

Oh! oh! oh!

When I was a kid
        D            Em
My grandfather was a preacher
C               G
He'd talk about love
            D                Em
Yeah he was something like a teacher
C                G
He said God only helps those
    D        Em
Who learn to help themselves
C                             G
He was a million miles from a million dollars

But you could never spend his wealth
