Boy In The Bubble Chords & Lyrics - Alec Benjamin

[VERSE 1]
It was [Am]6:48, I was walking home

Stepped through the gate, and I'm all alone
I had ch[Dm]icken 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
[G]But then came trouble
When my m[Am]om walked into the living room

She said, "Boy, you gotta tell me what they did to you"
I said, "Y[Dm]ou 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
[G]But then came trouble

[PRE-CHORUS]
And my h[Am]eart was pumping, chest was screaming
Mi[Dm]nd was running, air was freezing
P[C]ut my hands up, put my hands up
I t[G]old this kid I'm ready for a fight

N.C.

[CHORUS]
Pu[Am]nch my face, do it 'cause I [Dm]like the pain
Every time you c[C]urse my name
I know you w[Em]ant the satisfaction,[Dm] it's not gonna happen
Kn[Am]ock me out, kick me when I'm [Dm]on the ground
It's only gonna l[C]et you down
Come the lig[Em]htning and the thunder
Y[Dm]ou're the one who'll suffer, [Am]suffer

[VERSE 2]
Well I sq[Am]uared him up, left my chest exposed

He threw a quick left hook and it broke my nose
I had th[Dm]ick 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
[G]But then came trouble

[PRE-CHORUS]
And my [Am]heart was pumping, chest was screaming
M[Dm]ind was running, nose was bleedin'
P[C]ut my hands up, put my hands up
[G]I told this kid I'm ready for a fight

N.C.

[CHORUS]
Pu[Am]nch my face, do it 'cause I l[Dm]ike the pain
Every time you c[C]urse my name
I know you w[Em]ant the satisfaction, [Dm]it's not gonna happen
K[Am]nock me out, kick me when I'm[Dm] on the ground
It's only gonna [C]let you down
Come the li[Em]ghtning and the thunder
Y[Dm]ou're the one who'll suffer, [Am]suffer

[VERSE 3]
It was [Am]6:48, he was walking home

With the blood on his hand from my broken nose
But like ev[Dm]ery other day, he was scared to go

Back to his house 'cause his pops was home
[C]Drowning his troubles in whiskey bubbles
[G]Just looking for trouble
Well, there's [Am]no excuse for the things he did

But there's a lot at home that he's dealing with
Because his d[Dm]ad'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
[G]In this broken bubble

N.C.

[CHORUS]
P[Am]unch my face, do it 'cause I [Dm]like the pain
Every time you c[C]urse my name
I know you w[Em]ant the satisfaction, [Dm]it's not gonna happen
Kn[Am]ock me out, kick me when I'm [Dm]on the ground
It's only gonna [C]let you down
Come the l[Em]ightning and the thunder
Yo[D]u're the one who'll suffer, [Am]suffer
