[Verse 1]

[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

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"

She said, "Son, you gotta tell me why you're black and blue"

[D]I said I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble

But then came trouble

[Pre-Chorus]

[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

[D]I told this kid I'm ready for a fight

[Chorus]

[Bm]Punch my face, do it 'cause I [Em]like the pain

[D]Every time you curse my name

[F#m]I know you want the satisfaction, [Em]it's not gonna happen

[Bm]Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the [Em]ground

[D]It's only gonna let you down

[F#m]Come the lightning and the thunder

[Em]You're the one who'll suffer, suffer

[Verse 2]

[Bm]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

[D]I said I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble

[D]But then came trouble

[Pre-Chorus]

[Bm]And my heart was pumping, chest was screaming

[Em]Mind was running, nose was bleeding

[D]Put my hands up, put my hands up

[D]I told this kid I'm ready for a fight

[Chorus]

[Bm]Punch my face, do it 'cause I [Em]like the pain

[D]Every time you curse my name

[F#m]I know you want the satisfaction, [Em]it's not gonna happen

[Bm]Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the [Em]ground

[D]It's only gonna let you down

[F#m]Come the lightning and the thunder

[Em]You're the one who'll suffer, suffer

[Verse 3]

[Bm]It was 6:48, he was walking home

With the blood on his hand from my broken nose

[Em]But like every other day, he was scared to go

Back to his house 'cause his pops was home

[D]Drowning his troubles in whiskey bubbles

[D]Just looking for trouble

[Bm]Well, there's no excuse for the things he did

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

[Em]Because his dad's been drunk since he was a kid

And I hope one day that he'll say to him

[D]Put down those bubbles and that belt buckle

[D]In this broken bubble

[Chorus]

[Bm]Punch my face, do it 'cause I [Em]like the pain

[D]Every time you curse my name

[F#m]I know you want the satisfaction, [Em]it's not gonna happen

[Bm]Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the [Em]ground

[D]It's only gonna let you down

[F#m]Come the lightning and the thunder

[E]You're the one who'll suffer, suffer
