E                      C#m
Tell me about your day
               A                        E
Tell me everything that made you so angry
                            C#m
If I don't know what to say
                              A
Then I'll find some words to say

E
Just this one time
                           C#m
I won't put in my two cents
                  A
Just this one time
                            E
I'll just shut up and listen
Only if you
                               C#m
Promise that you'll do the same
                       B
When you've had a bad day, oh

Chorus:
        A         C#m
Take it out on me
        B              G#m
Take it out on me, yeah
              A
'Cause I'm strong enough to not break
       C#m
And I know that you'd do the same
         B
Take it out on me
           G#m            A C#m
Would you take it out on me?
                B
Take it out on me?
           G#m            A  C#m
Would you take it out on me?
                B G#m
Take it out on me?

One day, I'm gonna break
Oh, when that day comes, you gotta accept it
If you don't know what to say
Then I'll find some words to say

Just this one time
I won't put in my two cents
Just this one time
I'll just shut up and listen
Only if you
Promise that you'll do the same
When you've had a bad day, oh

Chorus

A C#m                 B  G#m
     (Take it out on me)
A C#m                 B
     (Take it out on me)
