[Intro] F# C# G# A#m F# C# G# A#m [Verse]
F#          C#
When I was a kid

          G#               A#m
I used to buy and sell gravity

F#          C#
I knew how to fly

            G#               A#m
And I would teach you for a fee

F#               C#
Broke every window

      G#      A#m
In my hotel heart

F#              C#
When I was only years old

    G#           A#m
but 1 years scarred

F#           C#
And I'd hear the same voice

G#          A#m
Echo in my mind

F#                  C#
Said Son you got an angel

   G#                  A#m
To chase the devil at night
Yeah [Chorus]
F#          C#
When I was a kid

        G#                A#m
My grandfather was a preacher

F#              C#
He'd talk about God

             G#                   A#m
Yeah he was something like a teacher

F#                            C#
He said God only helps those

    G#             A#m
Who learn to help themselves

         F#             C#
He was a million miles from a million dollars

    G#               A#m
But you could never spend his wealth
[Verse 2]
F#       C#
I took a little faith

    G#                   A#m
And put it in a parking lot

F#           C#
I drove to a strange town

         G#               A#m
Full of have and have nots

F#       C#
And as I walked through

     G#           A#m
that storybook life

F#                 C#
I was looking for an angel

   G#                  A#m
to chase the devil at night
[Mute] Oh Oh Oh [Chorus]
F#          C#
