[B] It was 6.48,. [D] I was walking home, stepped through the [Bm] gate, and I'm all alone. [E] I had chicken on the plate, but the floor was cold. Then I covered up my face so that [D] no one knows. I didn't want trouble. [A] I'm the boy in the [G] bubble. But then came trouble. [F#m] When my mom walked into the living room, she said, [Bm] 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 [G] bubble. But then came trouble. And [Bm] my heart was pumping, chest was screaming, [Em] Mind was running, air was freezing. [D] Put my hands up, put my hands up, I [F#] told this kid I'm ready for a fight. [Bm] I rushed my face, knew it [Em] cause I like the pain. Every [D] time you curse my name, I [F#] know you want the satisfaction. It's not gonna [Bm] happen, I'll be out. You came [Em] in the morning, now, It's only [D] gonna let you down. [F#] I'm the lightning and the thunder, You're the one to suffer, [N] suffer. [Bm] Well, I squared him up, left my [C#] face exposed, He threw a [Bm] quick left hook and it broke my nose. [E] I had thick red blood running down my clothes And a sick, sick look cause I [D] liked it though. I said, I didn't want trouble. [A] I'm the boy in the bubble. [Bm] But then came trouble. And my heart was pumping, chest was screaming, [Em] Mind was running, nose was bleeding. [D] Put my hands up, put my hands [F#] up, I told this kid I'm ready [Bm] for a fight. I rushed my face, knew it [Em] cause I like the pain. Every [D] time you curse my name, I know [F#] you want the satisfaction. It's not gonna [Bm] happen, I'll be out. You came [Em] in the morning, now, It's only [D] gonna let you down. I'm [F#] the lightning and the thunder, You're the one to suffer. [Bm] At 6.48 he was walking home, With the blood on his hands from a broken nose. [Em] But like every other day, he was scared to go back to his house Cause his pops was [D] home, drowning in his troubles. In whiskey [F#] 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] Cause his dad's been drunk since he was a kid And I hope one day that I'll say to [D] him Put down those bubbles, And my belt [F#] buckle, in this broken bubble. [Bm] I rushed my face, knew it [Em] cause I like the pain. Every [D] time you curse my name, I know [F#] you want the satisfaction. It's not gonna [Bm] happen, I'll be out. You came [Em] in the morning, now, It's only [D] gonna let you down. [F#] I'm the lightning and the thunder, You're the one to suffer. Suffer.
