[Verse 1]
G#
I tried my best to be just like
D# C#
The other boys in school
G#
I tried my best to get it right
D# C#
And died at every duel
G#
This mountainside is suicide
D# C#
This dream will never work
G#
Still the sign upon my headstone, write
D# C#
"A# champion of the world"
G# D# C# (x2)
[Verse 2]
G#
Yeah I tried my best to stay alight
D# C#
Fly like a firework
G#
I tried my best at taking flight
D# C#
But my rocketship reversed
G#
Oh, referee, don't stop the fight
D# C#
Everyone can see I'm hurt
G#
But I'll stand before conquistadors
D# C#
Til I'm champion of the world
[Chorus]
C# C#
(When I sail) And when I sail
G#
I'm sailing west
C#
(Though I might fail) Knowing I might fail
G# D#
But, still I am hoping for the best
C#
(In my dreams) And in my dreams
Fm
Onto my chest
C#
She'll pin the colours and say
C#
"I wandered the whole wide world but
D# G#
Baby, you're the best"
G# D# C# (x2)
[Outro]
G#
So I'm flying on my bicycle
D# C#
Heading upwards from the Earth
G#
I am jumping with no parachute
D# C#
Out into the universe
G#
I have E.T. on my bicycle
D# C#
Because giving up won't work
G#
I am riding on my rocketship
D# C#
And I'm champion of the world
