Verse 1:
     G                        Ab   
My father used to tell me a tale of a little hero
        G                                   Ab   
Who I wanted to be to everyone here in the city that was our home
             G                   Ab   
Where the flowers on the field wilted in sorrow
           G                 Ab                A                      Ab   
'Cause the blue in my eyes started to fade, my hands don't function the same
 
Refrain:
           G                  Ab                    A    Ab
And my life's a game, I'm tortured in this box of shame
 
Chorus:
          G              Ab   
And the world turned its back on me
        G               Ab                     G 
It's been a while since I could see the blue skies
        Ab                G   
And my brother's smile so wide
      Ab   
Can't I be a kid again?
 
Interlude: G Ab   
 
Verse 2:
       G                               Ab   
His heart grew a little cold and the chapters stay untold
               G                                 Ab   
But I would imagine he dreamt of the freedom he longed for since the start
          G                          Ab   
With a best friend next to me, I'll relive his story
     G              Ab                    A             Ab   
The purple alliums smile back at me, the sunlight's in my eyes
 
Refrain:
          G                  Ab                    A    Ab   
If my life's a game, I'll rewrite the tale with my name
 
Verse 3:
       G               Ab   
But he only loved me 'cause I was the kid he couldn't be
     G                                            Ab   
I did what he wished for, he wanted a trophy, a figurehead for his anarchy
            G                    Ab   
And the flowers on the field no longer calls for me
             G                  Ab                   A                    Ab   
'Cause the green on the treetops started to fade, my hugs are missing its warmth
       G                  Ab                           A      Ab   
And all hope is lost, can't you hear the cracks in my laughs?
 
Chorus:
          G               Ab   
And the world turned its back on me
       G               Ab                      G   
It's been a while since I could see the blue skies
        Ab                 G   
And my brother's smile so wide
      Ab          G   
Can't I be a kid again?
