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

But you didn't 
              A      A 
Don't get it twisted 
D                   F#m 
Out of the ashes you buried me in 
A        D   F#m  A 
I, I am golden 
         D   F#m  A 
I, I am golden
[Strophe]
      D                     F#m              A 
The fire that you tried to burn me with, it made me who I am 
          D                     F#m         A              A 
All the things that you said I couldn't do Guess what, Yes I can 
      D                     F#m              A            A 
The fire that you tried to burn me with, it made me who I am

All the things that you said I couldn't do Guess what, Yes I can
