[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

    D
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

      D
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                          Em
Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain

                D
Every time you curse my name

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

  Bm                           Em
Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the 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                           Em
Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain

                D
Every time you curse my name

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

 Bm                           Em
Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the 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                           Em
Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain

                D
Every time you curse my name

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

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