Intro
C F A G
[Verse 1]
C
I was fine being the sidekick
F
Cause I liked being by his side.
Am
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
Am
If i kept them laughing,
G
Maybe they would forget about their grief.
[Chorus]
C
I was the golden boy,
Dm
With my head up in the clouds
F
Laughing at the bumblebees,
G
As they buzzed around.
C
I wanted to help them,
Dm
I wanted to do what's right.
F
So i keep the darkness away,
C
And I was their light.
F Am G
La da da da da
[Verse 2]
C
But then in my instant,
F
Everything changed.
Am
A dictator rose to power,
G
My mentor became deranged.
C F
I tried to make both sides happy,
Am G
I wanted peace from the start.
C F
But all i got for my hard work,
Am G
Was a firework through my heart.
[Chorus]
C
I couldn’t be the golden boy,
Dm
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
Dm
A burden I couldn't bear.
F
I struggled in in a sea of regrets,
G
Drowning in my own despair.
[Bridge]
C F Am
Ohh ohh ohh
C
I had nothing
F
I had nowhere left to go
Am
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.
Am
But I’ll do it my own way.
G
I’m gonna make things right
C
I'm no golden boy
Dm
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,
Dm
The ghosts of my past.
F
I can try to make peace,
G
As I forge my own path.
[Outro]
