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