Taken from watching/listening to her performance in Singapore.
Chords start directly above the syllable Lenka sings them on. I hope you
can figure out what it means for chords to be between words.
As well, there are a couple optional chords you can throw in
to keep the chords feeling fresh. X7 chords work well when you're
trying to lead the listener onward.
- Instead of D, try D7 (XX0212) or D7/F# (200212)
- Instead of Em, try Em7 (022033)
Intro: F Dm F Dm
F Dm Roll, roll with the punches x2 F That really hurt me Dm Like a fist to the face F I wasn't ready Dm To be knocked out of place F Suddenly everything I was sure of Dm F Dm Is sinking below the depths of the surface F It's unexpected, Dm it usually is F When you're rejected Dm Or you take a hit F Suddenly everything's thrown in a spin Dm No time to grow a thicker skin F G What kind of situation am I in now?
[Chorus]
F F When life tries to knock all the wind out of you Dm G You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches F F If all life offers is black and blue Dm G You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches
F Dm F Dm
F Dm Little weapons over the phone F Dm They like to threaten the life that I know F They say get over here and get into the ring Dm F Dm But I'm not really much a fighter F Dm My mechanisms of defense are down F Dm My resistance is out on the town F I was alarmed by your attack Dm This isn't a boxing match F G But I'll be damned if I ever let you win
[Chorus]
F F When life tries to knock all the wind out of you Dm G You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches F F If all life offers is black and blue Dm G You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches Em Dm When all I want is a little stability Em Dm Some time without any bruises F You go and tell me the things that I don't want to hear Dm Putting your fist into my ears F Filling me up with the dread and the fear Dm leaving you all in pieces F Suddenly everything's thrown in a spin Dm No time to grow a thicker skin F G What kind of situation am I in now?
[Chorus]
F F When life tries to knock all the wind out of you Dm G You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches F F If all life offers is black and blue Dm G You've got to hold, hold, hold your head up high F F When life tries to knock all the wind out of you Dm G You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches F F If all life offers is black and blue Dm G You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches
