Verse 1:
    B minorBm
It was 6:48, I was walking home

Stepped through the gate, and I'm all alone
    E minorEm
I had chicken on the plate, but the food was cold

Then I covered up my face so that no one knows
D MajorD
I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble
  D MajorD
But then came trouble
     B minorBm
When my mom walked into the living room

She said, "Boy, you gotta tell me what they did to you"
     E minorEm
I said, "You don't wanna know the things I had to do"

She said, "Son, you gotta tell me why you're black and blue"
     D MajorD
I said I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble
   D MajorD
But then came trouble

Pre-Chorus:
    B minorBm
And my heart was pumping, chest was screaming
 E minorEm
Mind was running, air was freezing
 D MajorD
Put my hands up, put my hands up
  D MajorD
I told this kid I'm ready for a fight


Chorus:
 B minorBm             E minorEm
Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain
        D MajorD
Every time you curse my name
      F# minorF#m          E minorEm
I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen
 B minorBm              E minorEm
Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground
         D MajorD
It's only gonna let you down
      F# minorF#m
Come the lightning and the thunder
 E minorEm
You're the one who'll suffer, suffer

Verse 2:
     B minorBm
Well I squared him up, left my chest exposed

He threw a quick left hook and it broke my nose
    E minorEm
I had thick red blood running down my clothes

And a sick, sick look 'cause I like it though
     D MajorD
I said I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble
   D MajorD
But then came trouble


Pre-Chorus:
    B minorBm
And my heart was pumping, chest was screaming
 E minorEm
Mind was running, air was freezing
 D MajorD
Put my hands up, put my hands up
  D MajorD
I told this kid I'm ready for a fight


Chorus:
 B minorBm              E minorEm
Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain
        D MajorD
Every time you curse my name
      F# minorF#m          E minorEm
I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen
 B minorBm              E minorEm
Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground
        D MajorD
It's only gonna let you down
      F# minorF#m
Come the lightning and the thunder
 E minorEm
You're the one who'll suffer, suffer


Verse 3:
    B minorBm
It was 6:48, he was walking home

With the blood on his hand from my broken nose
      E minorEm
But like every other day, he was scared to go

Back to his house 'cause his pops was home
  D MajorD
Drowning his troubles in whiskey bubbles
    D MajorD
Just looking for trouble
       B minorBm
Well, there's no excuse for the things he did

But there's a lot at home that he's dealing with
       E minorEm
Because his dad's been drunk since he was a kid

And I hope one day that he'll say to him
   D MajorD
Put down those bubbles and that belt buckle
     D MajorD
In this broken bubble


Chorus:
 B minorBm              E minorEm
Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain
        D MajorD
Every time you curse my name
      F# minorF#m          E minorEm
I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen
 B minorBm              E minorEm
Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground
        D MajorD
It's only gonna let you down
     F# minorF#m
Come the lightning and the thunder
 E MajorE
You're the one who'll suffer, suffer
