Some Kind Of Joke Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Awolnation
Hey everyone, 

I did my best to learn this by ear (since I couldn't find any place that had this tabbed already).
This is my first submission in a good long while so I hope it helps in any way possible.

- Andrew

        G# (466xxx)

Intro (before lyrics begin): Alternates from A# to G#

Verse: 

   C#                                  A#

   A#             G#              F#               C#
I dont know why, I dont know why, I dont know why      (X2)

   C#                                  A#

I dont know why, I dont know why, I dont know why      (X2)

Chorus:

                   G#
Theres nowhere to run, 

            F#             C#
When youre hiding from the truth, 

                  G#
Its some kind of joke,

          F#                C#
When the tears are bleeding blue,

              G# 
Looking-glass fun, 

         F#                C#
When the pain is caused by you,

                 A#                 F#
Its some kind of joke, some kind of joke


Verse 2: 

(Starts with the A# to G# switch before lyrics begin again).

A#                G#               F#                C#
I don't know why, I dont know why, I dont know why       (X2)

When the tears are bleeding blue,

              G# 
Looking-glass fun,

          F#               C# 
When the pain is caused by you,

When the pain is caused by you.

Well there it is everyone! I'd like to give credit to Monica Kirby

Also a thank you to Alyrics.com which helped me remember a word or 
two that I forgot. And last but not least, a big shout out to AWOLNATION
