(G)C                     (Ab)C
My father used to tell me a tale of a little hero
        (G)C                                (Ab)C
Who I wanted to be to everyone here in the city that was our home
             (G)C                (Ab)C
Where the flowers on the field wilted in sorrow
           (G)C              (Ab)C             (A)C                   (Ab)C
'Cause the blue in my eyes started to fade, my hands don't function the same

[Refrain]
           (G)C               (Ab)C                 (A)C (Ab)
And my life's a game, I'm tortured in this box of shame

[Chorus]
          (G)C           (Ab)C
And the world turned its back on me
        (G)C            (Ab)C                  (G) C
It's been a while since I could see the blue skies
        (Ab)C             (G)C
And my brother's smile so wide
      (Ab)C
Can't I be a kid again?

 (G)C           (Ab)C

[Verse 2]
       (G)C                            (Ab)C
His heart grew a little cold and the chapters stay untold
               (G)C                              (Ab)C
But I would imagine he dreamt of the freedom he longed for since the start
          (G)C                       (Ab)C
With a best friend next to me, I'll relive his story
     (G)C           (Ab)C                 (A)C          (Ab)C
The purple alliums smile back at me, the sunlight's in my eyes

[Refrain]
          (G)                (Ab)                  (A)    (Ab)C
If my life's a game, I'll rewrite the tale with my name

[Verse 3]
       (G)C            (Ab)C
But he only loved me 'cause I was the kid he couldn't be
     (G)C                                         (Ab)C
I did what he wished for, he wanted a trophy, a figurehead for his anarchy
            (G)C                 (Ab)C
And the flowers on the field no longer calls for me
             (G)C               (Ab)C                (A)C                 (Ab)C
'Cause the green on the treetops started to fade, my hugs are missing its warmth
       (G)C               (Ab)C                        (A)C   (Ab)C
And all hope is lost, can't you hear the cracks in my laughs?

[Chorus]
          (G)C            (Ab)C
And the world turned its back on me
       (G)C            (Ab)C                   (G)C
It's been a while since I could see the blue skies
        (Ab)C              (G)C
And my brother's smile so wide
      (Ab)C       (G)C
Can't I be a kid again?
 (G) C           (Ab)C
