Intro
Fb F#
[Verse 1]
G#m C#m Gm* A*
You’ve got no vision for the long run
F# Fb Bb* C*
You’ve got no sense of history
G#m C#m Gm* A*
You’ve got the world at your fingertips
F# Fb A*
And now you have it crumblin'
[Pre-Chorus 1]
C#m F#
But if you look back far enough
B Fb
And find the place you started
C#m F#
Before you held a grudge
B G#
Or the highest office
C#m F#
You do nothing every year
B Fb
But you're showin' up on the red carpet...
[Chorus]
C#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)
C#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
C* C* C*
(I’m looking for the People’s Champ)
G#m
And it ain’t you
Bb* C*
[Verse 2]
G#m Bb* C* C#m
I said “Give it to me straight!” - (Things are crooked)
Gm* Dm* F# Gm* Dm* Fb Bb* C*
I said “Who’s sticking around?” - (For all the heavy lifting?)
G#m Bb* C*
You ain’t no robin hood -(No)
C#m Gm* Dm*
Never been in this neighbourhood -(No)
F# Fb
Thought you said this would be easy
[Pre-Chorus 2]
C#m F#
But I can smell it on ya
B Fb
You’re some aristocrat
C#m F#
I said “It takes a village”
B G#
And you can’t handle that
C#m F#
Well I already know
B Fb
How the history books will react
[Chorus]
C#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)

And it ain’t you
[Bridge]
G#m
All my girls say
O-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh
O-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh
G#m
All my dudes go
O-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh
O-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh
[Verse 3]
G#m
Now here’s the official statement:
G#m/F#
We’re street fighting on the pavement
G#m/Fb
I’m going dancing like I’m raving
G#m/D#
There’s no service in the basement
G#m/C#
Now I don’t mean to sound impatient
G#m/B
But I’ve seen the flag you’re waving
G#m/A#
And I can see through all this fake shit
G#m/D#
This highest office’s sitting vacant
[Pre-Chorus 3]
C#M F#
But if you look back far enough
B Fb
And find the place you started
C#m F#
I promise you no charlatan
B G#
Has ever died a martyr
C#m F#
You do nothing every year
B Fb
But showing up on the red carpet
[Chorus]
C#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)
C#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)
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)
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)

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
And it ain’t you
