Reverend And The Makers – Heavyweight Champion Of The World Acoustic chords

               GNow that she's older
       D                         EmAs the embers of romance fade to mortgages and leccy bills
     DBeen comfortable and that
       G                   DNobody told her that she'd ever reach the stage
          Em                          DWhere her husband bores or her or she lies about her age

           GHe's compromising
              DAt least he's got a job for life
    EmGet born, get school, get job, get car
    DPay tax and find a wife
       G              DAnd on that note the end can't come too soon
   Em                                DIf you're not living on the edge you take up too much room

           CI could've been a contender
  EmI could've been a someone
CCaught up in the rat race
    GAnd feeling like a no one
CCould've been me in the papers
         EmWith the money and the girls
           C                    AI could've been the heavyweight champion of the world


   G                             DAt school he used to dream about being Bruce Lee
        EmBut the need for chops in the Manor Top
      DAin't all that great you see
          GAnd so he gave up
       DOn his black belt and first Dan
   EmAs near as he got to China
      DWas a week in Camber sands


           CI could've been a contender
  EmI could've been a someone
CCaught up in the rat race
    GAnd feeling like a no one
CCould've been me in the papers
         EmWith the money and the girls
           C                    AI could've been the heavyweight champion of the world

     Fmaj7It's boring, it's boring
   EmIt might put you to sleep
       Fmaj7                     EmAs the same old routine repeated week after week
             Fmaj7And you work harder, work harder
       EmYou're told that you must
        Fmaj7And you must earn a living
    GYou must earn a crust


            GAnd be like everybody else
        DBe like everybody else
        EmBe like everybody else
             DJust be like everybody else
        Gbe like everybody else
        DBe like everybody else
        EmBe like everybody else
             DJust be like everybody else
