F# C# G# A#m When I was a kid, I used to buy and sell gravity I knew how to fly, and I would teach you for a fee Broke every window in my hotel heart When I was only five years old but twelve years scarred And I'd hear the same voice echo in my mind It'd say, "Son, you've got an angel." That'd chase the devil at night Chorus: F# C# G# A#m When I was a kid, my grandfather was a preacher F# C#/F G# A#m He'd talk about God, yeah he was something like a teacher F# C# He said God only helps those G# A#m Who learn to help themselves D#m C#/F He was a million miles from a million dollars G# A#m But you can 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 nones" And as I walked through that story-book life I've been looking for an angel who'd chase the devil at night Chorus F# C# G# A#m Wave, put your hands up, and hands down F# C#/F G# A#m Wave, put your hands up, and hands down F# C# G# A#m Wave, put your hands up, and hands down Chorus He was a million miles from a million dollars But you could never spend his wealth You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#m  C#  D#m  F  F#  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
