Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) Intro: Dm A Verse 1: Dm Drag me to death, like a lit cigarette A Took my last breath, like the smoke from my lips A I've lied for you and I liked it too Dm But my knees are bruised from kneeling to you Dm I've had enough, but you're too hard to quit A We've had our fun, now your sugar makes me sick A I've lied for you and I liked it too A But my makeup's ruined
Pre-Chorus: Bb And now I'm laughing through my tears F I'm crying through my fear A A But, baby, if I had to choose Chorus: Dm F/C Bb The joke's on you A Dm F/C Bb A The joke's on you Bb God knows I've tried to be kind F But I won't just lay down and die A Wearing a fake smile Dm The joke's on you Verse 2: Dm My heart's gone bad, now it won't beat for you Dm A You had your laugh, now I won't play the fool A I've lied for you and I liked it too A But I'm black and blue from bleeding for you Dm You struck the match, burned me out so fast A Look what we had, now it's turned to ash A I've lied for you and I liked it too A But my makeup's ruined Pre-Chorus: Bb And now I'm laughing through my tears F I'm crying through my fear A A But, baby, if I had to choose Chorus: Dm F/C Bb The joke's on you A Dm F/C Bb A The joke's on you Bb God knows I've tried to be kind F But I won't just lay down and die A Wearing a fake smile Dm The joke's on you
