[Intro]

Dm A7

[Verse 1]

Dm

Drag me to death like a lit cigarette

Took my last breath like the smoke from my lips

A7

I’ve lied for you and I liked it too

But my knees are bruised from kneeling to you

Dm

I’ve had enough, but you’re too hard to quit

We’ve had our fun, now your sugar makes me sick

A7

I’ve lied for you and I liked it too

But my makeup’s ruined

[Pre-Chorus]

              Bb

And now I’m laughing through my tears

      F

I’m crying through my fear

       A7

But, baby, if I had to choose

[Chorus]

                 Dm Dm/C Dm/Bb A7

The joke’s on you

                 Dm Dm/C Dm/Bb A7

The joke’s on you

                 Bb

God knows I’ve tried to be kind

                  F

But I won’t just lay down and die

                 A7

Wearing a fake smile

                   Dm

The joke’s on you

[Verse 2]

Dm

My heart’s gone bad, now it won’t beat for you

You had your laugh, now I won’t play the fool

A7

I’ve lied for you and I liked it too

But I’m black and blue from bleeding for you

Dm

You struck the match, burned me out so fast

Look what we had, now it’s turned to ash

A7

I’ve lied for you and I liked it too

But my makeup’s ruined

[Pre-Chorus]

               Bb

And now I’m laughing through my tears

      F

I’m crying through my fear

       A7

But, baby, if I had to choose

[Chorus]

                Dm Dm/C Dm/Bb A7

The joke’s on you

                Dm Dm/C Dm/Bb A7

The joke’s on you

                 Bb

God knows I’ve tried to be kind

                  F

But I won’t just lay down and die

                 A7

Wearing a fake smile

The joke’s on you
