[Verse I]
F C When I was a kid
G AmI used to buy and sell gravity
F C I knew how to fly
G AmAnd I would teach you for a fee
F C Broke every window
G AmIn my hotel heart
F C G Am When I was only 5 years old but 12 years scarred
F C And I'd hear the same voice
G AmEcho in my mind
F C Said, "Son you got an angel,
G AmTo chase the devil at night."
Yeah
[Chorus]
F C When I was a kid
G AmMy grandfather was a preacher
F C He'd talk about God
G AmYeah he was something like a teacher
F C He said, "God only helps those
G AmWho learn to help themselves."
F CHe was a million miles from a million dollars
G AmBut you could never spend his wealth
[Verse II]
F C I took a little faith
G AmAnd put it in a parking lot
F C I drove to a strange town
G AmFull 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
