Champion Of The World Chords & Lyrics - Coldplay

[INTRO]
[G] [C] [G] [D]
[G] [D] [C] (x2)

[VERSE 1]
I [G]tried my best to be just like
The [D]other boys in [C]school
I [G]tried my best to get it right
And [D]died at every [C]duel
This [G]mountainside is suicide
This [D]dream will never [C]work
Still the [G]sign upon my headstone, write
"A [D]champion of the [C]world"

[G] [D] [C] (x2)

[VERSE 2]
Yeah I [G]tried my best to stay alight
Fly [D]like a [C]firework
I [G]tried my best at taking flight
But my [D]rocketship re[C]versed
Oh, [G]referee, don't stop the fight
Every[D]one can see I'm [C]hurt
But I'll [G]stand before conquistadors
Til I'm [D]champion of the [C]world

[CHORUS]
(When I [C]sail) And when I [C]sail
I'm sailing [G]west
(Though I might f[C]ail) Knowing I might fail
But, still I am [G]hoping for the [D]best
(In my [C]dreams) And in my dreams
Onto my [Em]chest
She'll pin the colours [C]and say
"I wandered the [C]whole wide world but
Baby, [D]you're the [G]best"

[G] [D] [C] (x2)

[OUTRO]
So I'm [G]flying on my bicycle
Heading [D]upwards from the [C]Earth
I am j[G]umping with no parachute
Out [D]into the [C]universe
I have[G] E.T. on my bicycle
Because [D]giving up won't [C]work
I am [G]riding on my rocketship
And I'm [D]champion of the [C]world

[G] [D] [C]
