Song: THE JOKE

Tuning: It's normal tuning but sometimes when they play it live they use ? step down tuning.

I've been searching for this tab everywhere but just couldn't  find one that sounded 
 So here is the way I play it!  Any suggestions please send me an email.

There are some chords that I don't know the name so I called them X and Z as you'll see 
Pay attention in the intro chorus he just plays Dm and Gm. These also repeats again 
the last chorus.

           DmWhen (xx0231@1)you find me in the morning
Hanging on a warning
    GmOh... (355333@1)The joke is on you
       DmYou (xx0231@1)said you were pretending
Here's to unhappy endings


    Gm (355333@1)     AOh... (x02220@1)The joke is on you
    DmTo (xx0231@1)make sure yesterday doesn't repeat
I took a shortcut home
A left on the street
     Gm (355333@1)   AI (x02220@1)know they won't find me here
   DmI (xx0231@1)found out how to make mama proud
Be real quiet, don't talk too loud
 Gm (355333@1)  AI (x02220@1)try, try to disappear

   A#mMy (x13321@1)life is for the taking

   Gm (355333@1)        AOh... (x02220@1)The joke is on you
   DmThis (xx0231@1)is my last day
Should have been my first kiss
Think to myself will I ever be missed?
     Gm (355333@1)      AI (x02220@1)hope... Or maybe I don't care
     DmI (xx0231@1)wear my T around my neck
I love them so much
Gonna love them to death
   Gm (355333@1)                   ATonight... (x02220@1) I See the world through my eyes

      A#mMy (x13321@1)life is for the taking
