[C] [F]
[Dm] [C]
[Cm] [F] [C] I did my best, [G] but I guess my best [Am] wasn't good [G] enough
[Dm] Cause here [Am] we are [G] back where we were [Em] before
Seems [Am] [Dm] nothing ever [G] changes
[D] We're [E] back to being [G] [Am] strangers
[F]
Wondering [C] if we ought to stay
[F] Ahead on out the door
[C] [G] [F] [C] Just [G]
once, [Gm] can we figure out
What [C] we keep [F] doing wrong
[C] [Dm] Why we [G] never ask for [Em] very long
[Am] What are we [Dm] doing wrong
[G] [C] [G] Just once, [Gm] can we find a way
[C] To finally [F] make it right
To [C] [F] make the [G] magic last for more
Than just one [Am] night
[Dm]
If we can [F] just get to it
I know we could break through [C] it
[F] [C] Mmmmm
[F] [G]
[C] I gave [F] my all, [G] but I think more may [Am] have been too much
[Dm] Cause Lord knows we're [G] not getting [Em] anywhere
[Am] [Dm] Seems we're always [G] blowing
[D] Whatever [E] [G] we've got going
[Am]
[Dm] And it seems at times [C] with all we've got
[F] We haven't got a [C] [G] friend
[C]
[G] Just once, [Gm] can we figure out
What [C] we keep [F] doing wrong
[C] [Dm] Why the good [G] times never [Em] last for long
[C] [G] What [Dm] are we doing wrong
[G] Just [C] [F]
[G] once, [Gm] can we find a [C] way
To finally [F] make it right
To [C] [Dm] make the [G] magic last for more
[Em] Than just [Am] one night
[F] I know we could break through it
If we can just get to it
[Ab] Just once, I want to understand
[Bbm] Why it [Db] always comes [Ab] back to goodbye
[Abm]
Why [B] can't [Abm] we get ourselves an end
[Dbm] Ending [B] it to one [E] another
We're no good [B] without each [Dbm] other
Take the [B] best and make it better
[Em] We need to [D] stay together
[A] Just once, [Am] can we find a way
[G] To finally make it right
[D] To [Em] make the [D] [A] magic last for more
Than just one [Bm] night
[Em] I know we could break through it
If we can just get to it
[D] Just [A] [G] once
[A] [D] Oh, [A] [Bb] we can get through it
[G] [A] [G]
[N]
Just [D]
