    Who We Are

D5 
When you find me in the morning

Hanging on a warning
G5     A5  
Oh... The joke is on you
     D5 
You said you were pretending

Here's to unhappy endings
G5     A5  
Oh... The joke is on you


D5 
To make sure yesterday doesn't repeat

I took a shortcut home

A left on the street
     G5       A5  
I know they won't find me here
D5 
I found out how to make mama proud

Be real quiet, don't talk too loud
G5     A5  
I try, try to disappear
D5 
My life is for the taking
G5 
Breakdown is awaking me
A5  
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...
