        Em(v)		        D(v)
        I can't stand your translucency
        C(v)
        I sense movement but I can't see
        Em(v)		          D(v)
        Things were cool I was so happy
        C(v)
        Until you let me down
        Em(v)		        D(v)
        Now I'm awake and feeling used
        C(v)
        You offered up some lame excuse
        Em(v)		        D(v)
        But I knew his name, I knew the truth
        C(v)
        How could you be so small?

        [Chorus]
        	 Gmaj             D    Em*   D
        It's the greatest thing in the world
            Gmaj	  D          Em*     D
        You showed me how not to be
        	 Gmaj      D        Em*      D
        I need a woman not a little girl
        Bm		     Em
        Thank God you let go of me

        I know you're there but I can't see
        Remember when it was you and me?
        It was all transparency
        For him you let me go
        Two month full of sleepless nights
        Thinking of ways to make it right
        It took me too long to see the light
        So now I'm all alone

        [Chorus]

        [BRIDGE]
        Bm(b)    A/Bm(b)   G#m(b)    Em(b)   D(b)   C#(b)    
        Laying  side  by  side      Staring at the sky
        C(b)   
        This whole thing was crumbling
        			 Em          D
        And you never even asked why...whyyyy?
        [END BRIDGE]

        [Chorus] x2
        Bm
        Thank God you let go of me
        Thank God you let go of me
