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