The Boy In The Bubble chords by Alec Benjamin

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

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, 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 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
