Think of the notations like hexadecimal. That is, a letter represents a fret 
(A=10, B=11, C=12, etc). Where you see "C" on the E string, play 12th fret.

  D
  Hey it's me what a big surprise
  D                                           A        A
  Calling you up from a restaurant around the bend
  D
  I just got in from way up north
      D                                       A        A
  I'm aching and tired now, and I could use a friend
               C#m                    D                     E       E
  I might be a fool to think that you do    Want to see me again

[VERSE]
  D
  I know it's been a while since I talked to you
  D                                        A          A
  Nothing wrong, just nothing ever goes as planned
  D
  Many times I thought I'd call
    D                             A       A
  I didn't have your number in my hand
              C#m               D                       E
  I know it's true, you'd never do    The same thing to me

  I never meant to make you cry     And though I know I shouldn't call
                            Bm                          E
  It just reminds us of the cost    Of everything we've lost
                    A             
  Bad timing that's all

  If we each forgive a little bit      And we both look back on it     
                            A
  As just bad timing that's all
