[VERSE 1]
Am F
Bad news like a sucker punch, what do you say?
F G Am
Air knocked out of my lungs, want you to stay.
Am F
When you hear something difficult, don’t back away.
F G Am
Some people say nothing, good ones engage.
[PRE-CHORUS] x2
Am
Don’t turn your back on me,
F
Don’t bury your head deep,
F G Am
Just cause you don’t know what to say.
[CHORUS]
F Am
It’s truuuue,
Dm Am G C
That it kicks you in the teeth when you are least expecting.
F Am
Bad neeeews,
Dm Am G C
Oh, it beats you black and blue before you see it coming.
[VERSE 2]
Am F
Bad news like a sucker punch, blew me away.

People fill the streets like nothing has changed.
Am F
Clock hands tick along, they don't look the same.
F G Am
Planes fly overhead like any old day.

Don’t bury your head deep,

Just cause you don’t know what to say.

Maybe I just want some words of distraction.

I feel like I’m being consumed.
