Okay, so this is my first guitar tab, the chords all sound right...this is pretty much

it matters but...

           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...
