Intro
D G B A
[Verse 1]
D
I was fine being the sidekick
G
Cause I liked being by his side.
Bm
And despite our scuffles
A
I knew we’d be friends for life.
D
So I stayed the but of every joke.
G
I stayed the comic relief
Bm
If i kept them laughing,
A
Maybe they would forget about their grief.
[Chorus]
D
I was the golden boy,
Em
With my head up in the clouds
G
Laughing at the bumblebees,
A
As they buzzed around.
D
I wanted to help them,
Em
I wanted to do what's right.
G
So i keep the darkness away,
D
And I was their light.
G Bm A
La da da da da
[Verse 2]
D
But then in my instant,
G
Everything changed.
Bm
B dictator rose to power,
A
My mentor became deranged.
D G
I tried to make both sides happy,
Bm A
I wanted peace from the start.
D G
But all i got for my hard work,
Bm A
Was a firework through my heart.
[Chorus]
D
I couldn’t be the golden boy,
Em
Cause in the end, it’s red I bleed.
G
The same people who saw me as a pawn,
A
Suddenly wanted me to lead.
D
The world was forced on to my shoulders
Em
B burden I couldn't bear.
G
I struggled in in a sea of regrets,
A
Drowning in my own despair.
[Bridge]
D G Bm
Ohh ohh ohh
D
I had nothing
G
I had nowhere left to go
Bm
So i just started walking
A
until i found the snow
[Chorus]
D
I can make a new home here,
G
I can make a new life.
Bm
But I’ll do it my own way.
A
I’m gonna make things right
D
I'm no golden boy
Em
I’m only me
G
But i'm slowly learning
A
That it is ok to just be.
D
And thought i will never forget,
Em
The ghosts of my past.
G
I can try to make peace,
A
As I forge my own path.
[Outro]
