Reverend and the Makers - Heavyweight champion of the world

Now that she's ^Golder As the ^Dembers of romance fade to ^Emmortgages and leccy bills Been ^Dcomfortable and that Nobody ^Gtold her that she'd ^Dever reach the stage Where her ^Emhusband bores or her or she ^Dlies about her age

He's compro^Gmising At least he's ^Dgot a job for life Get ^Emborn, get school, get job, get car Pay ^Dtax and find a wife And on ^Gthat note the e^Dnd can't come too soon If ^Emyou're not living on the edge you ^Dtake up too much room

I could've ^Cbeen a contender I ^Emcould've been a someone ^CCaught up in the rat race And ^Gfeeling like a no one ^CCould've been me in the papers With the ^Emmoney and the girls I could've ^Cbeen the heavyweight ^Achampion of the world

At ^Gschool he used to dream about ^Dbeing Bruce Lee But the ^Emneed for chops in the Manor Top Ain't ^Dall that great you see And so he ^Ggave up On his ^Dblack belt and first Dan As ^Emnear as he got to China Was a ^Dweek in Camber sands

I could've ^Cbeen a contender I ^Emcould've been a someone ^CCaught up in the rat race And ^Gfeeling like a no one ^CCould've been me in the papers With the ^Emmoney and the girls I could've ^Cbeen the heavyweight ^Achampion of the world
