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