Intro
D E
[Verse 1]
F#m Bm Gm* A*
You’ve got no vision for the long run
E D Bb* C*
You’ve got no sense of history
F#m Bm Gm* A*
You’ve got the world at your fingertips
E D A*
And now you have it crumblin'
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Bm E
But if you look back far enough
A D
And find the place you started
Bm E
Before you held a grudge
A F#
Or the highest office
Bm E
You do nothing every year
A D
But you're showin' up on the red carpet...
[Chorus]
Bm
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)

I’m looking for the People’s Champ

I’m looking for the People’s Champ
C* C* C*
(I’m looking for the People’s Champ)
F#m
And it ain’t you
Bb* C*
[Verse 2]
F#m Bb* C* Bm
I said “Give it to me straight!” - (Things are crooked)
Gm* Dm* E Gm* Dm* D Bb* C*
I said “Who’s sticking around?” - (For all the heavy lifting?)
F#m Bb* C*
You ain’t no robin hood -(No)
Bm Gm* Dm*
Never been in this neighbourhood -(No)
E D
Thought you said this would be easy
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Bm E
But I can smell it on ya
A D
You’re some aristocrat
Bm E
I said “It takes a village”
A F#
And you can’t handle that
Bm E
Well I already know
A D
How the history books will react
[Chorus]
Bm
I’m looking for the People’s Champ

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

I’m looking for the People’s Champ
