Am      F       F    G  Am
Ahooouh ahooouh ahooouh hooouh
[VERSE 1]
Am                                        F
Bad news like a sucker punch, what do you say?

F                  G                       Am
Air knocked out of my lungs, want you to stay.

Am                                             F
When you hear something difficult, don't back away.

F                G                   Am
Some people say nothing, good ones engage.
[PRE-CHORUS] x2
                Am        
Don't turn your back on me,

           F
Don't bury your head deep,

               F          G       Am
Just cause you don't know what to say.
[CHORUS]
      F   Am   
It's truuuue,

        Dm                Am                 G      C
That it kicks you in the teeth when you are least expecting.

    F    Am
Bad neeeews,

        Dm                 Am              G       C
Oh, it beats you black and blue before you see it coming.
[VERSE 2]
Am                                     F
Bad news like a sucker punch, blew me away.

F                  G                       Am
People fill the streets like nothing has changed.

Am                                            F
Clock hands tick along, they don't look the same. 

F               G                Am
Planes fly overhead like any old day.
[PRE-CHORUS] x2
                Am        
Don't turn your back on me,

           F
Don't bury your head deep,

               F          G       Am
Just cause you don't know what to say.
[VERSE 2]
      F   Am   
It's truuuue,

        Dm               Am                  G      C
That it kicks you in the teeth when you are least expecting.

    F    Am
Bad neeeews,

        Dm                 Am              G       C
Oh, it beats you black and blue before you see it coming.
[BRIDGE]
Dm           Am         G            C
Maybe I just want some words of distraction.

F               Am       G
I feel like I'm being consumed.

Dm          Am            G        C       
Maybe I'm expecting the perfect reaction 

   F
to pull me back...

F       Am/E    F  Am/E G  Am
Ahooouh ahooouh ahooouh hooouh
[CHORUS] x2
      F   Am   
It's truuuue,

        Dm               Am                  G      C
That it kicks you in the teeth when you are least expecting.

    F    Am
Bad neeeews,

        Dm                 Am              G       C
Oh, it beats you black and blue before you see it coming.
