                Dmadd9
When you find me in the morning
                               G5 
Hanging on a warning, Oh
              A5
The Joke is on you
          Dmadd9
You said you were pretending
                                      G5
Here's to unhappy endings, Oh 
             A5
The Joke is on you

            Dmadd9
To make sure yesterday doesn't repeat
            Dmadd9
I took a shortcut home
                          G5             
I left on the street I know
          A5
That they won't find me here
        Dmadd9
I found out how to make mamma proud
         Dmadd9
Be real quiet, don't talk too loud
 G5    A5
I try, I try to disappear


     Bb
My life is for the taking
Bb/B                         Bb/C
Break down is awaking me
     A
I'm ending all this pain
                Dmadd9
When you find me in the morning
                               G5 
Hanging on a warning, Oh
              A5
The Joke is on you
          Dmadd9
You said you were pretending
                                      G5
Here's to unhappy endings, Oh 
             A5
The Joke is on you

           Dmadd9
This is my last day
           Dmadd9
Should have been my first kiss
           Dmadd9
I think to myself will I ever be missed?
  G5
I hope
     A5
Or maybe I don't care
      Dmadd9
I wear my team around my neck
      Dmadd9
I love 'em so much
                                        G5
Gonna love 'em to death tonight
          A5
See the world through my eyes
     Bb
My life is for the taking
   Bb/B                      Bb/C
Break down is erasing me
    A
I'm ending all this pain

                Dmadd9
When you find me in the morning
                               G5 
Hanging on a warning, Oh
              A5             D
The Joke is on you

D                G5     C5     
My great escape
                          A5        D
Is my biggest mistake
D                      G5               C5
I think you better turn around
                          A5
Don't throw it all away
        A5
Today... Today...

                Dmadd9
When you find me in the morning
                               G5 
Hanging on a warning, Oh
              A5
The Joke is on you
          Dmadd9
You said you were pretending
                                      G5
Here's to unhappy endings, Oh 
             A5             D
The Joke is on you
D                   G5     C5
The Joke is on you
                      A5
The Joke is on you
D                     G5    C5 
The Joke is on you
                      A5
The Joke is on you
D                     G5    C5    A5
The Joke is on you
