The Joke - Lifehouse

Tabbed by:KIDRoach
I saw various tabs but none of them seems right. The other one was pretty close
but had a different rhythm from what I'm hearing in the song.
This is for the studio version. The tabs for the live version is different because
most of the time, they use half step down tuning(EbAbDbGbBbeb).
Good luck :)
Tuning: Standard Tuning (EADGBe) or Half Step Down(EbAbDbGbBbeb)

Chorus
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
Verse
To make sure yesterday doesn't repeat
I took a shortcut home
I left on the street I know
That they won't find me here
I found out how to make mamma proud
Be real quiet, don't talk too loud
I try, I try to disappear
Pre-Chorus
My life is for the taking
Break down is awaking me
I'm ending all this pain
Chorus
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
Verse
This is my last day Should have been my first kiss
I 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 'em so much
Gonna love 'em to death tonight
And see the world through my eyes
Pre-Chorus
My life is for the taking
Break down is erasing me
I'm ending all this pain
Chorus
When you find me in the morning
Hanging on a warning (Oh)
The Joke is on you
Bridge
My great escape
Is my biggest mistake
I think you better turn around
Don't throw it away
Today... Today...
Chorus
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
Outro
The Joke is on you
The Joke is on you
The Joke is on you
The Joke is on you
