: (F C G Am) When I was a kid I used to buy and sell gravity I knew how to fly And I could teach you for a fee Break every window In my hotel heart I was only 5 years old but 12 years scarred And I'd hear the same voice Echo in my mind Said 'son you got an angel, To chase the devil at the light' When I was a kid My grandfather was a preacher He'd talk about God Yeah he was something like a teacher He said 'God only helps those Who learn to help themselves' He was a million miles from a million dollars But you could never spend his wealth I took a little faith And put it in a parking lot I drove to a strange town Full of have and have nots And as I walked through that storybook life I was looking for an angel to chase the devil at the light Oh oh oh When I was a kid My grandfather was a preacher He'd talk about love Yeah he was something like a teacher He said 'God only helps those Who learn to help themselves' He was a million miles from a million dollars But you could never spend his wealth Wave Put your hands up and hands down When I was a kid My grandfather was a preacher He'd talk about life Yeah he was something like a teacher He said 'God only helps those Who learn to help themselves' He was a million miles from a million dollars But you could never spend his wealth Oh He was a million miles from a million dollars But you could never spend his wealth
