The Best Deception by Dashboad Confessional

I sung along the original track by DC. Felt like going along with the song coz I felt bad and I just wanted to let it out

A song about feeling bad and feeling better

"The Best Deception"
I heard about your trip
I heard about your souveniers
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 that from you
I guess I should have heard of that from you

Well 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 giving you away

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 should have heard of that from you
I guess I should have heard of that from you

Well 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 let you
You will be back someday
And this awkward kiss that screams of other people's lips
Will be of service to giving you away
To giving you away

I'm waiting for blood to flow to my fingers
I'll be all right when my hands get warm
Ignoring the phone, I'd rather say nothing
I'd rather you'd 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 late

Man, this is AMAZING, I'm really trying to emulate some of Chris' stuff on the guitar....did you have to retune your guitar the same way he had it for this??

[teddymunoz]

Thanks for appreciating mate! Yeah you have to re tune the same way he did.

I can send you a guitar tab I used for this.

Thanks!

Your amazing :)

[DavidLewComedy]

Usually these arent good, but good shit man! I actually would have liked not hearing Chris in the background. Good stuff.

hey good job, im trying to learn this song, but im struggling with the strumming pattern, can you send me the tabs, im just curious if the way ur playing it is different than mine

[Brothwin]

Thanks for the reply Ted; yea, I'd love the tabs, but think I may have them. Yes, I went ahead and tuned my guitar to Db(that it?). I f*cking love this song, and I can empathize with so many of Chris' lyrics. I definitely want to learn this dong down hard, but think if I want to try to lyrically recreate it, I need to tune down some of his melodies an octave down to hit some of those notes. I love this song, and think I'm going to do Age Six after I get this down. Thanks again, keep em up!!
