Verse 1:
 
C         C/B        Am     Fmaj7
I heard about your trip.
 
C         C/B        Am     Fmaj7
I heard about your souvenirs.
 
C         C/B      Am
I heard about the cool breeze, 
 
             Fmaj7
and the cool nights, and the 
 
C       C/B          Am         Fmaj7
cool guys, that you spent them with.
 
 
 
Prechorus:
 
C                     C/B           Am      Fmaj7
I guess I should have heard of them from you.
 
C                     C/B           Am       Fmaj7

Don't you see, don't you see,
 
         C           G    F
that the charade is over.
 
      C
And all the best deceptions 
 
         G            F
and the clever cover story
 
C           G  F
awards go to you.

So kiss me hard,
 
        G                    F              C         G    F
'Cause this will be the last time that I'll let you.
 
C                      G     F
You will be back someday
 
                 C
and this awkward kiss that tells of 
 
                G     F           C
other people's lips will be of service
 
         G  F   C    G   F

I'm waiting for blood to flow to my fingers.

I'll be alright when my hands get warm.
 
              C/B                    Am
Ignoring the phone. I'd rather say nothing.

Too late to be gracious.

You do not warrant long goodbyes.

You're calling too late...

You're calling too late...

You're calling too late...
