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