Guitar chords with lyrics

Capo on 1st fret

INTRO:
F C  G Am x2


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."

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

F           C
    When I was a kid

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

Outtro:
F C  G Am
F C  G Am
         F             C
