THE BEST DECEPTIONS - Dashboard Confessional

a guy wrote something like this up, but the tuning was off and the intro was wrong.
me and my teacher fixed this up, so its pretty much perfect.
have fun.

(verse 1)
I heard about your trip.
I heard about your souvenirs.
I heard about the cool breeze, in the cool nights,
and the cool guys that you spent them with.
I guess I should have heard of them from you.
I guess I should have heard of them from you...

(verse 2)
I heard about your regrets.
I heard that you were feeling sorry.
I heard from someone that you wished you could,
Set things right between us.
Well I guess I should have heard of that from you,
I guess I should have heard of that from you...

Don't you see, don't you see that the charade is over? 
And all the "Best Deceptions" and 
the Clever Cover Story" awards go to you. 
So kiss me hard 'cause
this will be the last time that I'll let you.
You will be back some day and this awkward kiss
that tells of other people's lips will be of service 
to keeping you away.

I'm waiting for blood to flow to my fingers.
I'll be alright when my hands get warm.
Ignoring the phone, Id rather say nothing.
Id rather you never heard my voice.
Your calling too late, Too late to be gracious.
And you do not warrant long goodbyes.
Your calling too late. Your calling too late.
Your calling too late...

Alright, so, this is about flawless, I'm pretty sure.  My first time posting 
a tab, but I'm almost positive.  A lot of Chris's songs are in open D tuning:
Starting from the low E : D A D F# A D 
( Dmaj chord when strummed open.. it's the only way to play along with almost
every Dashboard song -- impress your friends! ) Alright, here goes..

Well, I'm pretty sure that's mostly right.  I tried to imitate the rhythms as best I could,
as well as where the vocals should about fall.  Email me with comments.. peace!
