           Em

When you find me in the morning


Hanging on a warning

 Am       B
Oh... The joke is on you


      Em
You said you were pretending



Here's to unhappy endings

 Am       B
Oh... The joke is on you



 Em
To make sure yesterday doesn't repeat



I took a shortcut home


A left on the street

      Am         B
I know they won't find me here


 Em
I found out how to make mama proud



Be real quiet, don't talk too loud

 Am        B
I try, try to disappear


 Em
My life is for the taking


 Am
Breakdown is awaking me


 B
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...
