[D] [Gm] [C] [A]
When you fi[Dm]nd me in the morning
Hanging on a warning
Oh..[Gm]. The joke is on you
You sai[Dm]d you were pretending
Here's to unhappy endings
Oh..[Gm]. The jok[A]e is on you
To m[Dm]ake sure yesterday doesn't repeat
I took a shortcut home
A left on the street
I kno[Gm]w they [A]won't find me here
I f[Dm]ound out how to make mama proud
Be real quiet, don't talk too loud
I[Gm] try, [A]try to disappear
My [A#m]life is for the taking
X C
Breakdown is awaking me
Z
I'm ending all this pain
When you [Dm]find me in the morning
Hanging on a warning
Oh.[Gm].. The joke i[A]s on you
You sa[Dm]id you were pretending
Here's to unhappy endings
Oh.[Gm].. The joke [A]is on you
Thi[Dm]s is my last day
Should have been my first kiss
Think to myself will I ever be missed?
I hop[Gm]e... Or ma[A]ybe I don't care
I wea[Dm]r my T around my neck
I love them so much
Gonna love them to death
Ton[Gm]ight... I See the worl[A]d through my eyes
My lif[A#m]e is for the taking
X C
Breakdown is erasing me
Z
I'm ending all this pain
(CHORUS)
[D]My great escape
[Gm]Is my biggest mistake
[C]I think you better turn around
[A]Don't throw it away
Today... Today...
When you [Dm]find me in the morning
Hanging on a warning
Oh..[Gm]. The joke is on you
You sai[Dm]d you were pretending
Here's to unhappy endings
Oh..[Gm]. The jok[A]e is on you
[D]The joke is on you
[Gm]The joke is on you
[C]The joke is on you
[A]The joke is on you
