Song: THE JOKE

Tuning: It’s normal tuning but sometimes when they play it live they use ½ step down tuning.

I’ve been searching for this tab everywhere but just couldn’t  find one that sounded 
 So here is the way I play it!  Any suggestions please send me an email.

There are some chords that I don’t know the name so I called them X and Z as you’ll see 
Pay attention in the intro chorus he just plays Dm and Gm. These also repeats again 
the last chorus.

      Dm    Gm    A           Bbm      X         C       Z

           Dm
When you find me in the morning
Hanging on a warning
    Gm
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

   Bbm
My life is for the taking
    X                   C
Breakdown is awaking me
            Z
I'm ending all this pain

         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
This is my last day
Should have been my first kiss
Think to myself will I ever be missed?
     Gm        A
I hope... Or maybe I don't care
     Dm
I wear my T around my neck
I love them so much
Gonna love them to death
   Gm                     A
Tonight...  I See the world through my eyes

      Bbm
My life 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...

         Dm
When you find me in the morning
Hanging on a warning
    Gm
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
D
The joke is on you
Gm
The joke is on you
C
The joke is on you
A
The joke is on you
