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