Minutes in the bedroom,

She said, "Time to go now"
     D
But leaving it ain't easy

I've got to let go
Oh, I've got to let go
     Am
Oh, tapping an apartment
     G
She would not let them get her
      D
She wrote it in a letter
	  E
Oh, I've got to come clean
I'd be a God in this scene

No no, I'm somewhere in between
I said every night, She just can't stop saying:
