SIDEKICK (original key -3)
It s not fair, itâs not fair
I didn t know, I wasn t there
Itâs not fair, Itâs not fair
Seeing you lying there
I wasn t strong enough,
to save you from the evil stuff
I wasn t smart like you
To do what you would do
I know Iâm not a leading man
C (Em)
I know Iâm not a star
but I know what makes me special
is what I feel in my heart
Iâm just a sidekick
(G)
but I love being at your side

I ve been in the shadows for far too long-
But I m the leading man of this song
I was a stupid doofus but now that s gone
Iâm ready for a change, gonna keep calm and carry on!
I know I m not a pretty boy, but I m a man
I ll find a way to save ya baby, yes I can
don t confuse the way i was with the way I am
Iâm ready for a change, gonna take a stand
I m just a sidekick
Iâm just a sidekick
Iâm just a sidekick
(G)
but I love being at your side
I m always forgotten
C (Bb F)
always come in second place
I ll never be a front man
C (Bb F)
no one can remember my face
If I was in a dinner
F C (Bb F)
I would surely be the less prominent taste
but when I think of how I feel for you
and the love I have inside
I forget about all the things I am not
and my heart swells up with pride
Am I the strongest (no Iâm not)
Am I the smartest (no Iâm not)
Am I the hottest (no Iâm not)
But am I the greatest (no I m not)
Am I the hero (no I m not)
Am I the one who steals the show (no I m not)
Am I the one who you should know (no Iâm not)
But am I the one who takes you home (definitely not)
Am I the chosen one (no Iâm not)
Am I the prodigal son (no Iâm not)
Am I almost done (no Iâm not)
But I m the one who s gonna love you with-- all of his heart because...
that s what I got!
I m the one who s gonna love you with-- all of his heart because...
that s what Iâve got!
I m not a great athlete, I m no good at art
I know my brain is not my most impressive part
My wand can barely work and my car won t start
but I know what makes me special s what i feel in my heart
Iâm just a sidekick
Iâm just a sidekick
Iâm just a sidekick
(G)
but I love, I love, I love being at your side
