*Play this chord only the 2nd time
**the word is "screams" instead of "tells" the 2nd time
DADF#DD tuning, down 1/2 step, so low to high, the tuning is
[Db-Ab-Db-F-Db-Db]
Low to High:
<6> E down 1½ --> Db
<5> A down ½ --> Ab

<3> G down 1 --> F
<2> B up 1 --> Db
<1> e down 1½ --> Db

Here is the timing for the Intro and the Verse. "/" represents a slide and

is about [a quarter note equals 90 Beat Per Minute].

NOTE: Where the fist letter of the chord is is about where the chord starts
in relationship to the word(s). Get the strumming and timing down and listen
to the song if you are struggling with where the words go, but this should
really help.

NOTE: Once again, I have shortened chords, therefore, [D is still D], [Add4/E
is AE], and [G/D is GD]:
(for AE and GD, the low Db gives it a bad ring and doesn't sound good because
it's a good amount away from any of the other notes)

NOTE: I have shortened the Chords names below to better fit, so when seen
below with the words, refer [D to D] (duh), [Dmaj7 to D7], [Bm/D to BD],
[Dsus4 to D4], [Dadd2 to D2], [A 2nd variant of D to 2D], [Add4/E to AE],
[G/D to GD], [DXII to DX], [Dmaj7 to D7], [D6 to D6], [A7sus4/D to A7D],
[A/D is AD], [A 3rd D variant to Dvar3], and [DH to D with harmonics].
(for AE and GD, the low Db gives it a bad ring and doesn't sound good because
it's a good amount away from any of the other notes, so although it fits in the
chord, I wouldn't recommend playing it if possible (I'm pretty sure Chris does
it that way, too)).

Lyrics:
Verse1:I heard about your trip
I heard about your souveniers
I heard about the cool breeze, and the cool nights and the cool guys that you spent
them with
Well i guess I shouldve heard of them from you
I guess I shouldve heard of them from you
Chrous: Dont you see? Dont you see?
That the charade is over.
And all the "Best Deceptions" and the "Clever Cover Story" awards
They go to you
So kiss me hard
Cuz this will be the last time that I let you
You will be back some day
And this awkward kiss that tells of other people's lips
Will be of service to giving you away
Verse2: I heard about your regrets
I heard that you were feeling sorry
I heard from someone that you wish you could set things right between us
Well I guess I shouldve heard of it from you
I guess I shouldve heard of it from you
Chorus
Outro: I'm waiting for blood to flow to my fingers
I'll be alright once my hands get warm
Ignoring the phone I'd rather say nothing
I'd rather you never heard my voice
You're calling too late too late to be gracious
And you do not warrant long good byes
You're calling too late you're calling too late you're calling too laaaaate
