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...
