[Intro]
C Em G  (2x)
 
 
[Verse]
        C            Em
The fire used to burn
             G
All the words used to hurt
 
                       C
But you're not like us
                Em
You are different
                G
I couldn't see that that was a compliment
                 C                     Em            G
Cause the last thing I want now is to be you
                 C                     Em            G
And the flames don't feel as hot as they use to
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
  C         Em
Burn, burn, burn
                   G
They used to yell
  G                       C
You thought I was coal
                  Em
My friend, I'm gold
               G
Can't you tell?
  C           Em
Burn, burn, burn
                   G
They used to yell
  G                      C
You thought I was coal
                 Em
My friend, I'm gold
               G
Can't you tell?
 
 
[Chorus]
                      C                   Em          G
Cause I'm not weak, I'm not broken I am bold
               C                     Em                        G
And the fire you put me through turned me into gold
             C              Em
I'm not done, I'm no loser
                 G
Watch me take on my bright future
    C                                Em
Tonight I'm no bronze I'm no silver
                  G
You'll be thinking, damn I knew her
  G            C Em
But you didn't
                      G
Don't get it twisted
 
  C                            Em
Out of the ashes you buried me in
  G          C  Em G
I, I am golden
              C  Em G
I, I am golden
 
 
[Verse]
         C                    Em           G
You tried so hard to break me down
                       C                      Em                      G
Like a fire-breathing dragon, but I guess I took your crown
          C                       Em         G
You pushed for me to change for you
                               C               Em       G
But I'm so glad that I stayed true to who I am
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
  C           Em
Burn, burn, burn
               G
They used to yell
   G                     C
You thought I was coal
                 Em
My friend, I'm gold
               G
Can't you tell?
  C            Em
Burn, burn, burn
                   G
They used to yell
  G                     C
You thought I was coal
                 Em
My friend, I'm gold
               G
Can't you tell?
 
 
[Chorus]
                      C                  Em          G
Cause I'm not weak, I'm not broken I am bold
              C                        Em                   G
And the fire you put me through turned me into gold
              C            Em
I'm not done, I'm no loser
                 G
Watch me take on my bright future
     C                                Em
Tonight I'm no bronze I'm no silver
                 G
You'll be thinking, damn I knew her
   G           C Em
But you didn't
                     G
Don't get it twisted
 
   C                            Em
Out of the ashes you buried me in
   G          C  Em G
I, I am golden
               C  Em G
I, I am golden
 
 
[Bridge]
         C                           Em                      G
The fire that you tried to burn me with, it made me who I am
                C                         Em
All the things that you said I couldn't do
   G
Guess what, Yes I can
        C                            Em                      G
The fire that you tried to burn me with, it made me who I am

Cause I'm not weak, I'm not broken I am bold
              C                     Em                       G

You'll be thinking, damn I knew her
   G           C Em
But you didn't
                      G
Don't get it twisted
 
   C                          Em
Out of the ashes you buried me in
   G          C  Em G
I, I am golden
