Alec Benjamin - Boy In The Bubble Chords

[verse 1]
F#7       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
                                              D
Then I covered up my face so that no one knows
I didn't want trouble,
I'm the boy in the bubble
F#7
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
                           D
why you're black and blue"
I said I didn't want trouble,
                         F#
I'm the boy in the bubble
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
   F#
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#
I know you want the satisfaction,
Em
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#
Come the lightning and the thunder
 Em                           Bm
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
                                             D
And a sick, sick look 'cause I like it though

I said I didn't want trouble,
                         F#
I'm the boy in the bubble
But then came trouble

[pre-chorus]
       Bm
And my heart was pumping, chest was screaming
 Em
Mind was running, nose was bleedin'
 D
Put my hands up, put my hands up
F#
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#
I know you want the satisfaction,
 Em
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#
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
                                           D
Back to his house 'cause his pops was home
                                        F#
Drowning his troubles in whiskey bubbles

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
                                        D
And I hope one day that he'll say to him
                                           F#
Put down those bubbles and that belt buckle

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#
I know you want the satisfaction,
 Em
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#
Come the lightning and the thunder
  Em                           Bm
You're the one who'll suffer, suffer
