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