F Dm
Roll roll with the punches x
F
That really hurt me
Dm
Like a fist to the face
F
I wasn't ready
Dm
To be knocked out of place
F
Suddenly everything I was sure of
Dm F Dm
Is sinking below the depths of the surface
F
It's unexpected
Dm
it usually is
F
When you're rejected
Dm
Or you take a hit
F
Suddenly everything's thrown in a spin
Dm
No time to grow a thicker skin
F G
What kind of situation am I in now
[Chorus]
F F
When life tries to knock all the wind out of you
Dm G
You've got to roll roll roll with the punches
F F
If all life offers is black and blue
Dm G
You've got to roll roll roll with the punches
F Dm F Dm
F Dm
Little weapons over the phone
F Dm
They like to threaten the life that I know
F
They say get over here and get into the ring
Dm F Dm
But I'm not really much a fighter
F Dm
My mechanisms of defense are down
F Dm
My resistance is out on the town
F
I was alarmed by your attack
Dm
This isn't a boxing match
F G
But I'll be damned if I ever let you win
[Chorus]
F F
When life tries to knock all the wind out of you
Dm G
You've got to roll roll roll with the punches
F F
If all life offers is black and blue
Dm G
You've got to roll roll roll with the punches
Em Dm
When all I want is a little stability
Em Dm
Some time without any bruises
F
You go and tell me the things that I don't want to hear
Dm
Putting your fist into my ears
F
Filling me up with the dread and the fear
Dm
leaving you all in pieces
F
Suddenly everything's thrown in a spin
Dm
No time to grow a thicker skin
F G
What kind of situation am I in now
[Chorus]
F F
When life tries to knock all the wind out of you
Dm G
You've got to roll roll roll with the punches
F F
If all life offers is black and blue
Dm G
You've got to hold hold hold your head up high
F F
When life tries to knock all the wind out of you
Dm G
You've got to roll roll roll with the punches
F F
If all life offers is black and blue
Dm G
You've got to roll roll roll with the punches
