             Am (x02210@1)            E (022100@1)                Am (x02210@1)          EShe (022100@1)asked me what it was I want, I thought that I wanted it all.

"What did you say?"

E(open)
I said "Stand up and move your body to the bed."
            CShe (x32010@1)quickly stood, and slowly turned, and
         Ehere's (022100@1)exactly what she said.

I broke a smile reminding that I paid her well.
           Am (x02210@1)               E (022100@1)              Am (x02210@1)          EHer (022100@1)lips returned, and then I felt her hands unbuckling my belt.

"So was it good?"

E(open)
It felt like heaven, but I'm sure she was in hell-

i?m sure that i totally nailed the harmonies but of course i cant be 100% sure 
that those are the exact chords played.... but it sounds pretty close to me... let 
me know ehat you think... this is kinda one of my first tabs that i really posted 
but ive been playing for like 12 years so im not one of those "this is my first 
tab - please rate"-kids (which by the way almost always suck!!!)^^
