OneRepublic - Preacher

[Verse I]
F             C
 When I was a kid
          G                 Cm
I used to buy and sell gravity
F              C
 I knew how to fly
            G               Cm
and I would teach you for a fee
F            C
 broke every window
      G        Cm
In my hotel heart
F                C               G            Cm
 When I was only 5 years old but 12 years scarred
F                 C
 and I'd hear the same voice
 G           Cm
echo in my mind
F                      C
 Said, "Son you got an angel,
             G           Cm
To chase the devil at night."

Yeah

[chorus]
F             C
 When I was a kid
        G                Cm
My grandfather was a preacher
F                C
 he'd talk about God
            G                   Cm
Yeah he was something like a teacher
F                   C
 he said, "God only helps those
    G                 Cm
Who learn to help themselves."
         F                    C
he was a million miles from a million dollars
    G                         Cm
but you could never spend his wealth

[Verse II]
F         C
 I took a little faith
    G                   Cm
and put it in a parking lot
F              C
 I drove to a strange town
         G               Cm
full of "have" and "have nots"
F          C                   G         Cm
 and as I walked through that storybook life
F                     C                  G            Cm
 I was looking for an angel to chase the devil at night
