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