[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 5 years old
    G#           A#m
but 12 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#
    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

[Interlude/Bridge]
F# C#  G# A#m
Oh! Oh! Oh!
F# C#  G# A#m
Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!


F#         C#
    Wave
                 G#           A#m
Put your hands up and hands down

F#         C#
    Wave
                 G#           A#m
Put your hands up and hands down

F#         C#
    Wave
                 G#           A#m
Put your hands up and hands down


[Chorus]
F#~(Once)   C#~(Once)
    When I was a kid

        G#                A#m

    He'd talk about God
             G#                   A#m

         F#             C#

    G#               A#m
But you could never spend his wealth
