F#5 It was I was walking home Bm Stepped through the gate and I'm all alone Em I had chicken on the plate but the food was cold D Then I covered up my face so that no one knows
I didn't want trouble I'm the boy in the bubble
But then came trouble
Bm When my mom walked into the living room
She said Boy you gotta tell me what they did to you Em I said You don't wanna know the things I had to do GmD5 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
EBm 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 BmEm 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 BmEm 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 Em I had thick red blood running down my clothes
And a sick sick look 'cause I like it though Am I said I didn't want trouble I'm the boy in the bubble
But then came trouble
BmEm And my heart was pumping chest was screaming
Mind was running nose was bleeding D Put my hands up put my hands up F#m I told this kid I'm ready for a fight
BmEm 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 BmEm 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
You're the one who'll suffer
Bm It was he was walking home Em With the blood on his hand from my broken nose
But like every other day he was scared to go D Back to his house 'cause his pops was home F# Drowning his troubles in whiskey bubbles
Just looking for trouble
Bm Well there's no excuse for the things he did Em But there's a lot at home that he's dealing with
Because his dad's been drunk since he was a kid D And I hope one day that he'll say to him F# Put down those bubbles and that belt buckle Bm In this broken bubble
Em Punch my face do it 'cause I like the pain D Every time you curse my name F#Bm I know you want the satisfaction it's not gonna happen 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
