verse 1 
Am Am
It was 6:48, I was walking home

Stepped through the gate, and
I'm all alone

I had
Dm Dm
chicken on the plate, but the
food was cold

Then I covered up my face so
that no one knows
C C
I didn't want trouble, I'm the
boy in the bubble
G G
But then came trouble

When my
Am Am
mom walked into the living room

She said, 'Boy, you gotta tell
me what they did to you'

I said,
Dm Dm
'You don't wanna know the
things I had to do'

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

Pre-Chorus

And my
Am Am
heart was pumping, chest was
screaming
Dm Dm
Mind was running, air was
freezing
C C
Put my hands up, put my hands
up

I
G G
told this kid I'm ready for a
fight

N.C.

Am Am
Punch my face, do it 'cause I
Dm Dm
like the pain
C C
Every time you curse my name
Em Em
I know you want the
Dm Dm
satisfaction, it's not gonna
happen
Am Am
Knock me out, kick me when I'm
Dm Dm
on the ground
C C
It's only gonna let you down

Come the
Em Em
lightning and the thunder
Dm Dm
You're the one who'll suffer,
Am Am
suffer


verse 2

Well I
Am Am
squared him up, left my chest
exposed

He threw a quick left hook and
it broke my nose

I had
Dm Dm
thick red blood running down
my clothes

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

Pre-Chorus

And my
Am Am
heart was pumping, chest was
screaming
Dm Dm
Mind was running, nose was
bleedin'
C C
Put my hands up, put my hands
up
G G
I told this kid I'm ready for
a fight

N.C.

Am Am
Punch my face, do it 'cause I
Dm Dm
like the pain
C C
Every time you curse my name
Em Em
I know you want the

satisfaction,
Dm Dm
it's not gonna happen
Am Am
Knock me out, kick me when
Dm Dm
I'm on the ground
C C
It's only gonna let you down

Come the
Em Em
lightning and the thunder
Dm Dm
You're the one who'll suffer,
Am Am
suffer


verse 3

It was
Am Am
6:48, he was walking home

With the blood on his hand
from my broken nose

But like
Dm Dm
every other day, he was scared
to go

Back to his house 'cause his
pops was home
C C
Drowning his troubles in
whiskey bubbles
G G
Just looking for trouble

Well, there's
Am Am
no excuse for the things he did

But there's a lot at home that
he's dealing with

Because his
Dm Dm
dad's been drunk since he was
a kid

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

N.C.

Am Am
Punch my face, do it 'cause I
Dm Dm
like the pain
C C
Every time you curse my name
Em Em
I know you want the

satisfaction,
Dm Dm
it's not gonna happen
Am Am
Knock me out, kick me when I'm
Dm Dm
on the ground
C C
It's only gonna let you down

Come the
Em Em
lightning and the thunder
D D
You're the one who'll suffer,
Am Am
suffer
