[Intro]
A Asus2/B Aadd4 D
  Oh-oh

[Verse 1]
            A                   
There was a trail of destruction
      Asus2/B
 that led straight to you
  Aadd4                   
Ignored all the signs that 
   D
I wish weren't true
       A                 
You're such a good actor, 
   Asus2/B              Aadd4 D
I guess you had me fooled
      A               
Guess I was convenient
      Asus2/B
 when I was around
       Aadd4             
'Cause you love attention,
      D
 the talk of the town
    A                     
And I'd build you up while
 Asus2/B               Aadd4 D
 you'd just tear me down

[Pre-Chorus]
       F#m7
What's done is done
    Aadd4         D
I'm on the other side now

[Chorus]
   A                Asus2/B
So you can play the golden boy
    Dsus2
And lose yourself in
 all the noise of
F#m7                     
  "You're kind and you're
          E
 so perfect"
"I'd love to be your 
          Dsus2
girlfriend"
You were lucky once
How's life livin' on 
         A   Asus2/B
the surface?

[Verse 2]
     A              
We'd talk all the time, 
         Asus2/B
now we don't even speak
Aadd4              
I'm wide awake while
         D
 you're both still asleep
       A            
You're so unaffected 
 Asus2/B      Aadd4 D
by our history

[Pre-Chorus]
           F#m7
But what's done is done
    E                D
I'm on the other side now

[Chorus]
   A                Asus2/B
So you can play the golden boy
    Dsus2
And lose yourself in 
all the noise of
F#m7                     
  "You're kind and you're 
          E
so perfect"
"I'd love to be your
          Dsus2
 girlfriend"

You were lucky once
How's life livin' on the surface?
A              Asus2/B
You can really play the part
      Dsus2
While you stay breaking 
all these hearts
     F#m7             
Oh, "What's it like to 
                 E
be his girlfriend?"
                           Dsus2
Looks good, but it's a burden

You were lucky once

Have fun livin' on the surface

[Bridge]
    Bm                
I'm thankful you're no
        A/C#
 longer wasting my time
    Dsus2
I'm grateful I gave up on
 reading your mind
  Bm                        
I know that it's much better 
 A/C#
ending like this
     Dsus2
Just one on your list
 deceived and dismissed
    Bm                  A/C#
No, I'm not alone being left 
in your mess
   Dsus2
It should bring me closure
 or something, I guess
    Bm                    
But all that I'm left with 
     A/C#
are unproven words
     Dsus2           
That everyone heard and
 what makes it worse

[Outro]
   A                  Asus2
Is you just play the golden boy
    Dsus2
And got so lost in all
 the noise of
F#m7              
  "You're kind and 
                 E
you're so perfect"
"I'd love to be your 
         Dsus2
girlfriend"    
How's life livin' 
on the surface?
A             Asus2/B
You can really play the part
       Dsus2
While you stay breaking 
all these hearts
     F#m7             
Oh, "What's it like to 
                 E
be his girlfriend?"
                           Dsus2
Looks good, but it's a burden
You were lucky once
Have fun livin' on the surface

How to play Golden Boy: key, chords and progression

These are Golden Boy chords by Freya Skye for Piano and Ukulele.

Golden Boy by Freya Skye keeps coming home to A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯). You need 10 chords: A, Asus2/B, Aadd4, D, F#m7, Dsus2, E, Bm, A/C# and Asus2.

Listen for A – Asus2/B – Aadd4 – D (I – Isus2 – I – IV in A major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – doh – doh – fah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Good to know: Aadd4, F#m7 and Bm are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
