       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 
E 
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 
E 
But then came trouble
[Pre-Estribillo]
        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 
   E 
I told this kid I'm ready for a fight 
N.C.
[Estribillo]
  Am                          Dm 
Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain 
                C 
Every time you curse my name 
            E                    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 
            E 
Come the lightning and the thunder 
 Dm                           Am 
You're the one who'll suffer, suffer
[Estrofa]
         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 
E 
But then came trouble
[Pre-Estribillo]
       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 
E 
I told this kid I'm ready for a fight  
N.C.
[Estribillo]
  Am                           Dm 
Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain 
                C 
Every time you curse my name 
            E                     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 
           E 
Come the lightning and the thunder 
 Dm                           Am 
You're the one who'll suffer, suffer
[Estrofa]
       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 
E 
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 
E 
In this broken bubble 
N.C.
[Estribillo]
 Am                           Dm 
Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain 
                C 
Every time you curse my name 
            E                     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 
          E 
Come the lightning and the thunder 
  Dm                          Am 
You're the one who'll suffer, suffer
