Bm It was 6:48, I was walking home Stepped through the gate, and I'm all alone Em I had chicken on the plate, but the food was cold Then I covered up my face so that no one knows D I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble F# But then came trouble When my mom walked into the living room She said, "Boy, you gotta tell me what they did to you" 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" I said I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble But then came trouble Bm And my heart was pumping, chest was screaming Em Mind was running, air was freezing D Put my hands up, put my hands up F# I told this kid I'm ready for a fight Chorus: Bm Em Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain D Every time you curse my name F# I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen Bm Em Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground D It's only gonna let you down F# Come the lightning and the thunder Bm You're the one who'll suffer, suffer Well, I squared him up, left my chest exposed He threw a quick left hook and it broke my nose I had thick red blood running down my clothes And a sick, sick look 'cause I like it though I said I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble But then came trouble And my heart was pumping, chest was screaming Mind was running, nose was bleeding Put my hands up, put my hands up I told this kid I'm ready for a fight Chorus: Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain Every time you curse my name I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground It's only gonna let you down Come the lightning and the thunder You're the one who'll suffer It was 6:48, he was walking home With the blood on his hands from my broken nose But like every other day, he was scared to go Back to his house 'cause his pops was home Drowning his troubles in whiskey bubbles Just looking for trouble Well, there's no excuse for the things he did But there's a lot at home that he's dealing with Because his dad's been drunk since he was a kid And I hope one day that he'll say to him "Put down those bubbles and that belt buckle In this broken bubble" Chorus: Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain Every time you curse my name I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground It's only gonna let you down Come the lightning and the thunder You're the one who'll suffer, suffer You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsD  Em  F#  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
