The Joke Chords - Lifehouse

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. Email: [email protected] 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. Chorus and Slow Verse Pre- Chorus Dm Gm A A#m 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 A#m 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 A#m 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
