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