Tune down a half step, then drop D:
Db-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb

easiest way to do this is tune normally to
an electric tuner but instead of open strings
use the first fret of every string.
(so open E would be Eb) and so on then just take the low E
and tune it to the Db (octaves)

/lyrics/

I heard about your trip
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 have heard of them from you
I guess I should have heard of them from you

don't you see,
don't you see
that the cherade 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 tell of other peoples lips
will be of service to keeping 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

don't you see,
don't you see
that the cherade is over
and all the best deceptions and 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 awkard kiss that screams of other peoples lips will be of service
to keeping you away
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 I'd rather say nothing
I'd rather you never heard my voice
you're calling too late
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
