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