The Joke

	  		           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...
