Takin The Hit by Joe Bonamassa
Takin The Hit
*note* The studio recording is tuned down to either Drop D or D tuning,
but I tabbed the song out as if it was in standard tuning (just lowered a whole note).

Yes I’m takin’ the hit, payin’ the price;
Sometimes in love the ending ain’t nice.
Just layin’ me down, (need help here),
I’m crying all night, yes I’m takin’ the hit.
Hey it’s my problem, I’m not blaming you;
And I wasn’t love, you’re just passing through.
And I won’t complain, your kiss wasn’t calm,
Something has moved you, you’re moving on.
I’m feelin’ so bad just to think about you.
You’re not coming back there’s nothin’ I can do.
‘Cuz I’m takin’ the hit, payin’ the price;
Sometimes in love the ending ain’t nice.
Just layin’ me down, (need help here),
I’m crying all night, yes I’m takin’ the hit.
[Lead Break]
I lie to myself, someday I won’t care,
Each day I wake up and you’re still there.
I’m hiding the truth, from people I see,
Know something’s wrong and it’s killin’ me.
I’m feeling so bad just to think about you,
You’re not coming back there’s nothin’ I can do.
Yes I’m takin’ the hit, payin’ the price;
Sometimes in love the ending ain’t nice.
Just layin’ me down, (need help here),
I’m crying all night, yes I’m takin’ the hit.
Yes I’m takin’ the hit, payin’ the price,
Sometimes in love the ending ain’t nice.
Just layin’ me down, (need help here),
I’m crying all night, yes I’m takin’ the hit
