in relationship to the word(s). Get the strumming and timing down and listen
to the song if you are struggling with where the words go, but this should
really help.
I heard about your trip.
I heard about your souvenirs.
I heard about the cool breeze in the cool nights and the cool
guys that you spent them with.

NOTE: Once again, I have shortened chords, therefore, [D is still D], [Add4/E
is AE], and [G/D is GD]:
(for AE and GD, the low Db gives it a bad ring and doesn't sound good because
it's a good amount away from any of the other notes)

Same rule of ryhtm apply as in Verse 1, but I've put in the words so you can
see where they line up with the words:

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 them from you.

Same rule of ryhtm apply as in Verse 1, but I've put in the words so you can
see where they line up with the words:

[D]              [D7]       BD     [Dsus4]  [D]   [D2]  2D
  I heard about         your regrets.

   [D]               [D7]          BD        [Dsus4] [D]      [D2]  2D
  I heard from someone that you  wish you   could
[D]               [D7]         BD         [Dsus4]  [D]   [D2]  2D
  set things right between us.
