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