I knew that this was doomed from the get go

You thought that it was special, special
                    Fmaj7               Fm
But it was just the sex though, the sex though
                     Cmaj7
And I still hear the echoes (The echoes)
                          Fmaj7              N.C.
I got a feeling that it's time to let it go, let it go
