Hi! This is my first tab ever, so please don't be mad when it's wrong. Personally I
think it's quite accurate. You should be able to figure out the strumming pattern yourself,
just listen closely to the song.
Thank you

Verse 1:
C G
When I was a kid
D E#m
I used to buy and sell gravity

Break every window

In my hotel heart

To chase the devil at the light
Chorus:
C G
When I was a kid
D E#m
My grandfather was a preacher
C G
He'd talk about God
D E#m
Yeah he was something like a teacher
C G
He said God only helps those
D E#m
Who learn to help themselves
C G
He was a million miles from a million dollars
D E#m
But you could never spend his wealth
