LIFEHOUSE
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.

When you fiDmnd me in the morning
Hanging on a warning
Oh..Gm. The joke is on you
You saiDmd you were pretending
Here's to unhappy endings
Oh..Gm. The jokAe is on you
To mDmake sure yesterday doesn't repeat
I took a shortcut home
A left on the street
I knoGmw they Awon't find me here
I fDmound out how to make mama proud
Be real quiet, don't talk too loud
IGm try, Atry to disappear
My A#mlife is for the taking
X C
Breakdown is awaking me
Z
I'm ending all this pain
When you Dmfind me in the morning
Hanging on a warning
Oh.Gm.. The joke iAs on you
You saDmid you were pretending
Here's to unhappy endings
Oh.Gm.. The joke Ais on you
ThiDms is my last day
Should have been my first kiss
Think to myself will I ever be missed'
I hopGme... Or maAybe I don't care
I weaDmr my T around my neck
I love them so much
Gonna love them to death
TonGmight... I See the worlAd through my eyes
My lifA#me is for the taking
X C
Breakdown is erasing me
Z
I'm ending all this pain
[CHORUS]
DMy great escape
GmIs my biggest mistake
CI think you better turn around
ADon't throw it away
Today... Today...
When you Dmfind me in the morning
Hanging on a warning
Oh..Gm. The joke is on you
You saiDmd you were pretending
Here's to unhappy endings
Oh..Gm. The jokAe is on you
DThe joke is on you
GmThe joke is on you
CThe joke is on you
AThe joke is on you
