Alec Benjamin – Boy In The Bubble chords

[Verse 1]
       AmIt was 6:48, I was walking home

Stepped through the gate, and I'm all alone
        DmI had chicken on the plate, but the food was cold

Then I covered up my face so that no one knows
CI didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble
GBut then came trouble
         AmWhen my mom walked into the living room

She said, "Boy, you gotta tell me what they did to you"
          DmI 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"
CI said I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble
GBut then came trouble


[Pre-Chorus]
        AmAnd my heart was pumping, chest was screaming
  DmMind was running, air was freezing
 CPut my hands up, put my hands up
   GI told this kid I'm ready for a fight

N.C.

[Chorus]
  Am                          DmPunch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain
                CEvery time you curse my name
            Em                   DmI know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen
  Am                           DmKnock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground
                 CIt's only gonna let you down
            EmCome the lightning and the thunder
 Dm                           AmYou're the one who'll suffer, suffer


[Verse 2]
         AmWell I squared him up, left my chest exposed

He threw a quick left hook and it broke my nose
        DmI had thick red blood running down my clothes

And a sick, sick look 'cause I like it though
CI said I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble
GBut then came trouble


[Pre-Chorus]
       AmAnd my heart was pumping, chest was screaming
 DmMind was running, nose was bleedin'
 CPut my hands up, put my hands up
GI told this kid I'm ready for a fight

N.C.

[Chorus]
  Am                           DmPunch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain
                CEvery time you curse my name
            Em                    DmI know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen
 Am                           DmKnock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground
                CIt's only gonna let you down
           EmCome the lightning and the thunder
 Dm                           AmYou're the one who'll suffer, suffer


[Verse 3]
       AmIt was 6:48, he was walking home

With the blood on his hand from my broken nose
           DmBut like every other day, he was scared to go

Back to his house 'cause his pops was home
CDrowning his troubles in whiskey bubbles
GJust looking for trouble
              AmWell, there's no excuse for the things he did

But there's a lot at home that he's dealing with
             DmBecause his dad's been drunk since he was a kid

And I hope one day that he'll say to him
CPut down those bubbles and that belt buckle
GIn this broken bubble

N.C.

[Chorus]
 Am                           DmPunch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain
                CEvery time you curse my name
            Em                    DmI know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen
  Am                           DmKnock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground
                CIt's only gonna let you down
          EmCome the lightning and the thunder
  D                           AmYou're the one who'll suffer, suffer
