Best Deceptions

this song is great and one of my favourites as a long time chris fan...hopefully 
they'll release it soon.
tuning: Db Ab Db Gb Ab Db
Leave the Ab Db strings open the entire time you're strumming and strum them as well. 
For the strumming pattern listen to the song b/c its a bit tricky.

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
