[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.


[PD-C HORUS] 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.
F                  G                       Am
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.

                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.

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.


[BRIDGE]
Dm           Am         G            C
Maybe I just want some words of distraction.
F               Am       G
I feel like I’m being consumed.
Dm          Am            G        C       
Maybe I’m expecting the perfect reaction 
   F
to pull me back...

F       Am/E    F  Am/E G  Am
Ahooouh ahooouh ahooouh hooouh

Bad neeeews,
        Dm                 Am              G       C
Oh, it beats you black and blue before you see it coming.
