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: G5 E5 G5 E5


G5         E5                   
Roll, roll  with the punches   x2


            G5
That really hurt me
       E5
Like a fist to the face
         G5
I wasn't ready
      E5
To be knocked out of place
C5
Suddenly everything I was sure of
   A5                              G5        E5
Is sinking below the depths of the surface


         G5
It's unexpected, 
   E5
it usually is
              G5
When you're rejected
   E5
Or you take a hit
C5
Suddenly everything's thrown in a spin
   A5
No time to grow a thicker skin
C5                              D5
What kind of situation am I in now?


[Chorus]
     G5                           C5
When life tries to knock all the wind out of you
              E5              D5
You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches
   G5                  C5         
If all life offers is black and blue
              E5              D5
You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches


G5 E5 G5 E5


       G5       E5
Little weapons over the phone
             G5            E5
They like to threaten the life that I know
         C5
They say get over here and get into the ring
    A5                    G5        E5
But I'm not really much a fighter
        G5        E5
My mechanisms of defense are down
     G5           E5
My resistance is out on the town
C5
I was alarmed by your attack
     A5
This isn't a boxing match
            C5                        D5
But I'll be damned if I ever let you win


[Chorus]
     G5                           C5
When life tries to knock all the wind out of you
              E5              D5
You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches
   G5                  C5         
If all life offers is black and blue
              E5              D5
You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches


     B5              E5
When all I want is a little stability
     B5               E5
Some time without any bruises
           C5
You go and tell me the things that I don't want to hear
A5
Putting your fist into my ears
C5
Filling me up with the dread and the fear 
A5
leaving you all in pieces
C5
Suddenly everything's thrown in a spin
   A5
No time to grow a thicker skin
C5                              D5
What kind of situation am I in now?


[Chorus]
     G5                           C5
When life tries to knock all the wind out of you
              E5              D5
You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches
   G5                  C5         
If all life offers is black and blue
              E5                    D5
You've got to hold, hold, hold your head up high
     G5                           C5
When life tries to knock all the wind out of you
              E5              D5
You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches
   G5                  C5         
If all life offers is black and blue
              E5              D5
You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches
