I   heard     about        your trips
I   heard     about        your souvenirs
I   heard     about        the  cool breeze and the cool nights and the
Cool guys              that you spent them with
I guess I should've heard of them from you
I guess I should've heard of them from you

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
I guess I should've heard of them from you
I guess I should've heard of them from you

I'm waiting for blood, To flow to my fingers,

I'll be alright when my hands get
D12                Dmaj7                   D6
Warm. Ignoring the phone, I'd rather say nothing,
               G/B             A/D
I'd rather you never heard my voice
D12                    Dmaj7                 D6
You're calling too late, To late to be gracious
                 G/B            A/D
And you do not warrant long goodbyes
D12                    Dmaj7                    D6
You're calling too late, You're calling too late
                   G/B   A/D
You're calling too la----ate.
