Intro
Cb C#
[Verse 1]
D#m G#m Gm* A*
You’ve got no vision for the long run
C# Cb Bb* C*
You’ve got no sense of history
D#m G#m Gm* A*
You’ve got the world at your fingertips
C# Cb A*
And now you have it crumblin'
[Pre-Chorus 1]
G#m C#
But if you look back far enough
F# Cb
And find the place you started
G#m C#
Before you held a grudge
F# D#
Or the highest office
G#m C#
You do nothing every year
F# Cb
But you're showin' up on the red carpet...
[Chorus]
G#m
I’m looking for the People’s Champ
(I’m looking for the People’s Champ)
D#m
I’m looking for the People’s Champ
(I’m looking for the People’s Champ)
G#m
I’m looking for the People’s Champ
(I’m looking for the People’s Champ)
D#m
I’m looking for the People’s Champ
C* C* C*
(I’m looking for the People’s Champ)
D#m
And it ain’t you
Bb* C*
[Verse 2]
D#m Bb* C* G#m
I said “Give it to me straight!” - (Things are crooked)
Gm* Dm* C# Gm* Dm* Cb Bb* C*
I said “Who’s sticking around?” - (For all the heavy lifting?)
D#m Bb* C*
You ain’t no robin hood -(No)
G#m Gm* Dm*
Never been in this neighbourhood -(No)
C# Cb
Thought you said this would be easy
[Pre-Chorus 2]
G#m C#
But I can smell it on ya
F# Cb
You’re some aristocrat
G#m C#
I said “It takes a village”
F# D#
And you can’t handle that
G#m C#
Well I already know
F# Cb
How the history books will react
[Chorus]
G#m
I’m looking for the People’s Champ
(I’m looking for the People’s Champ)
D#m
I’m looking for the People’s Champ
(I’m looking for the People’s Champ)
G#m
I’m looking for the People’s Champ
(I’m looking for the People’s Champ)
D#m
I’m looking for the People’s Champ
C* C* C*
(I’m looking for the People’s Champ)
D#m
And it ain’t you
[Bridge]
D#m
All my girls say
O-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh
O-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh
D#m
All my dudes go
O-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh
O-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh
[Verse 3]
D#m
Now here’s the official statement:
D#m/C#
We’re street fighting on the pavement
D#m/Cb
I’m going dancing like I’m raving
D#m/A#
There’s no service in the basement
D#m/G#
Now I don’t mean to sound impatient
D#m/F#
But I’ve seen the flag you’re waving
D#m/F
And I can see through all this fake shit
D#m/A#
This highest office’s sitting vacant
[Pre-Chorus 3]
G#M C#
But if you look back far enough
F# Cb
And find the place you started
G#m C#
I promise you no charlatan
F# D#
Has ever died a martyr
G#m C#
You do nothing every year
F# Cb
But showing up on the red carpet
[Chorus]
G#m
I’m looking for the People’s Champ
(I’m looking for the People’s Champ)
D#m
I’m looking for the People’s Champ
(I’m looking for the People’s Champ)
G#m
I’m looking for the People’s Champ
(I’m looking for the People’s Champ)
D#m
I’m looking for the People’s Champ
(I’m looking for the People’s Champ)
G#m
I’m looking for the People’s Champ
(I’m looking for the People’s Champ)
(O-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh)
D#m
I’m looking for the People’s Champ
(I’m looking for the People’s Champ)
(O-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh)
G#m
I’m looking for the People’s Champ
(I’m looking for the People’s Champ)
(O-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh)
D#m
I’m looking for the People’s Champ
C* C* C*
(I’m looking for the People’s Champ)
(O-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh)
D#m
And it ain’t you
