------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ROLL WITH THE PUNCHES - Lenka ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tuning: Standard Capo: 3 Taken from watching/listening to her performance in Singapore. Chords start directly above the syllable Lenka sings them on. I hope you can figure out what it means for chords to be between words. As well, there are a couple optional chords you can throw in to keep the chords feeling fresh. X7 chords work well when you're trying to lead the listener onward. - Instead of D, try D7 (XX0212) or D7/F# (200212) - Instead of Em, try Em7 (022033) 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 [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/l/lenka/268661.html ] 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 Outro: G Em G Em  |
