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