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