Intro: G Em G Em
G Em
Roll, roll with the punches x2
G
That really hurt me
Em
Like a fist to the face
G
I wasn't ready
Em
To be knocked out of place
C
Suddenly everything I was sure of
Am G Em
Is sinking below the depths of the surface
G
It's unexpected,
Em
it usually is
G
When you're rejected
Em
Or you take a hit
C
Suddenly everything's thrown in a spin
Am
No time to grow a thicker skin
C D
What kind of situation am I in now?
[Chorus]
G C
When life tries to knock all the wind out of you
Em D
You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches
G C
If all life offers is black and blue
Em D
You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches
G Em G Em
G Em
Little weapons over the phone
G Em
They like to threaten the life that I know
C
They say get over here and get into the ring
Am G Em
But I'm not really much a fighter
G Em
My mechanisms of defense are down
G Em
My resistance is out on the town
C
I was alarmed by your attack
Am
This isn't a boxing match
C D
But I'll be damned if I ever let you win
[Chorus]
G C
When life tries to knock all the wind out of you
Em D
You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches
G C
If all life offers is black and blue
Em D
You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches
Bm Em
When all I want is a little stability
Bm Em
Some time without any bruises
C
You go and tell me the things that I don't want to hear
Am
Putting your fist into my ears
C
Filling me up with the dread and the fear
Am
leaving you all in pieces
C
Suddenly everything's thrown in a spin
Am
No time to grow a thicker skin
C D
What kind of situation am I in now?
[Chorus]
G C
When life tries to knock all the wind out of you
Em D
You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches
G C
If all life offers is black and blue
Em D
You've got to hold, hold, hold your head up high
G C
When life tries to knock all the wind out of you
Em D
You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches
G C
If all life offers is black and blue
Em D
You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches
