    Who We Are

Dm 
When you find me in the morning

Hanging on a warning
Gm     A  
Oh... The joke is on you
     Dm 
You said you were pretending

Here's to unhappy endings
Gm     A  
Oh... The joke is on you


Dm 
To make sure yesterday doesn't repeat

I took a shortcut home

A left on the street
     Gm       A  
I know they won't find me here
Dm 
I found out how to make mama proud

Be real quiet, don't talk too loud
Gm     A  
I try, try to disappear
Dm 
My life is for the taking
Gm 
Breakdown is awaking me
A  
I'm ending all this pain

When you find me in the morning
Hanging on a warning
Oh... The joke is on you
You said you were pretending
Here's to unhappy endings
Oh... The joke is on you

This is my last day
Should have been my first kiss
Think to myself will I ever be missed?
I hope... Or maybe I don't care
I wear my team around my neck
I love them so much
Gonna love them to death
Tonight... See the world through my eyes

My life is for the taking
Breakdown is erasing me
I'm ending all this pain

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