Boy In The Bubble

 
              
verse 1 
       Am 
It was 6:48, I was walking home 
 
Stepped through the gate, and I'm all alone 
        Dm 
I had chicken on the plate, but the food was cold 
 
Then I covered up my face so that no one knows 
C 
I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble 
G 
But then came trouble 
         Am 
When my mom walked into the living room 
 
She said, "Boy, you gotta tell me what they did to you" 
          Dm 
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" 
C 
I said I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble 
G 
But then came trouble 
 
Pre-Chorus 
        Am 
And my heart was pumping, chest was screaming 
  Dm 
Mind was running, air was freezing 
 C 
Put my hands up, put my hands up 
   G 
I told this kid I'm ready for a fight 
 
N.C. 
 
  Am                          Dm 
Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain 
                C 
Every time you curse my name 
            Em                   Dm 
I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen 
  Am                           Dm 
Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground 
                 C 
It's only gonna let you down 
            Em 
Come the lightning and the thunder 
 Dm                           Am 
You're the one who'll suffer, suffer 
 
verse 2 
         Am 
Well I squared him up, left my chest exposed 
 
He threw a quick left hook and it broke my nose 
        Dm 
I had thick red blood running down my clothes 
 
And a sick, sick look 'cause I like it though 
C 
I said I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble 
G 
But then came trouble 
 
Pre-Chorus 
       Am 
And my heart was pumping, chest was screaming 
 Dm 
Mind was running, nose was bleedin' 
 C 
Put my hands up, put my hands up 
G 
I told this kid I'm ready for a fight 
 
N.C. 
 
  Am                           Dm 
Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain 
                C 
Every time you curse my name 
            Em                    Dm 
I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen 
 Am                           Dm 
Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground 
                C 
It's only gonna let you down 
           Em 
Come the lightning and the thunder 
 Dm                           Am 
You're the one who'll suffer, suffer 
 
verse 3 
       Am 
It was 6:48, he was walking home 
 
With the blood on his hand from my broken nose 
           Dm 
But like every other day, he was scared to go 
 
Back to his house 'cause his pops was home 
C 
Drowning his troubles in whiskey bubbles 
G 
Just looking for trouble 
              Am 
Well, there's no excuse for the things he did 
 
But there's a lot at home that he's dealing with 
             Dm 
Because his dad's been drunk since he was a kid 
 
And I hope one day that he'll say to him 
C 
Put down those bubbles and that belt buckle 
G 
In this broken bubble 
 
N.C. 
 
 Am                           Dm 
Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain 
                C 
Every time you curse my name 
            Em                    Dm 
I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen 
  Am                           Dm 
Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground 
                C 
It's only gonna let you down 
          Em 
Come the lightning and the thunder 
  D                           Am 
You're the one who'll suffer, suffer
