E                                         F#m     C#m A
Get a little nervous then I stumble and I hesitate
E                                             F#m             C#m A
Never take a chance because I'm too afraid my heart will break
E                                            F#m       C#m A
Everything I ever want is standin' right in front of me
    E                                            F#m        C#m A
But I think that I'm runnin' from the only one I really need

     A
But time stands still and I'm feelin' so much
        B
And it's alright here and I just gotta trust that
C#m
You're the one, the time has come
    B
So tell me baby, what's it gonna take?

Chorus:
                E
We can be the champions, we can own the night
F#m               C#m
Yeah it might destroy us but we gotta try
 A                  E
Can't keep lookin' backwards, runnin' from the light
       F#m                C#m                       A
'Cause this could be the greatest moment of our lives

Get a little closer now and I can feel it in my blood
Something ‘bout your energy that moves me every time we touch
Worshippin' the only thing that’s always playin' on my mind
So tell me what we're waiting for 'cause we should lay it on the line

But time stands still and I’m feeling so much
And it’s all right here and I just gotta trust
That you’re the one, that the time has come
So tell me, baby, what’s it gonna take?

Chorus:
                E
We can be the champions, we can own the night
F#m               C#m
Yeah it might destroy us but we gotta try
 A                  E
Can't keep lookin' backwards, runnin' from the light
       F#m                C#m                       A E
'Cause this could be the greatest moment of our lives
F#m            C#m                           A E
We can be the champions, we can own the night
F#m                C#m                       A
This could be the greatest moment of our lives

A           E
 (Champions, champions)
B
Fightin' 'til the last in the dust,
       E          A
no we won't back down
            E
(Champions, champions)
      B
It's time to let the whole world know

Chorus
