Coldplay – Champion Of The World chords

[Intro]

G C G D

G D C (x2)

[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

        Em

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

 

G D C
