A# That really hurt me Gm Like a fist to the face A# I wasn't ready Gm To be knocked out of place D# Suddenly everything I was sure of Cm A# Gm Is sinking below the depths of the surface A# It's unexpected, Gm it usually is A# When you're rejected Gm Or you take a hit D# Suddenly everything's thrown in a spin Cm No time to grow a thicker skin D# F What kind of situation am I in now? Chorus: A# D# When life tries to knock all the wind out of you Gm F You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches A# D# If all life offers is black and blue Gm F You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches Little weapons over the phone They like to threaten the life that I know They say get over here and get into the ring But I'm not really much of a fighter My mechanisms of defense are down My resistance is out on the town I was alarmed by your attack This isn't a boxing match But I'll be damned if I ever let you win Chorus Dm Gm When all I want is a little stability Dm Gm Some time without any bruises D# You go and tell me the things that I don't want to hear Cm Putting your fist into my ears D# Filling me up with the dread and the fear Cm leaving you all in pieces D# Suddenly everything's thrown in a spin Cm No time to grow a thicker skin D# F What kind of situation am I in now? Chorus: When life tries to knock all the wind out of you You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches If all life offers is black and blue You've got to hold, hold, hold your head up high When life tries to knock all the wind out of you You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches If all life offers is black and blue You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#  Cm  Dm  D#  F  Gm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
