[F] [C]
[G] [C] I [F] did my best, [Em] but I guess my best [Am] wasn't good enough
[Dm] Cause here we are [Gm] back where we were [Em] before
[Dm] Seems nothing [D] ever changes, [B] we're back to being [C] strangers
[Dm] Wondering [C] if we ought to stay [F] or head on out
[G] [C] [G] Just once, [Gm] can we figure [C] out what we keep [F] doing wrong
[Dm] Why we [Gm] never last for [Em] very long
[A] What [Dm] are we doing wrong
[C]
[C] Just once, [Bb] can we find a way [C] to finally make [F] it right
To [Dm] make the [Gm] magic last for [Em] more than just one [Am] night
[Dm] We could just keep doing [F] it, though we could break through [C] it
[F]
[C] [G]
[C] I [D] gave my all, [Em] but I think my all [Am] may have been too much
[Dm] Lord knows [Gm] we're not getting [Em] anywhere
[Am] [Dm] Seems we're [G] always blowing, [E] whatever [Am] we've got going
[Dm] And it seems at [Em] times with all we've got, [F] we haven't got a [G] friend
[C] [G] Just once, [Gm] can we figure [C] out what we keep [F] doing wrong
[Dm] Why the good [G] times never [Em] last for long
[Am] Where [Dm] are we going wrong
[C] [G] Just once, [C] can we find a way to finally [F] make it right
To
[Dm] make the [G] magic last for [Em] more than just [Am] one night
[Dm] Though we could break through [F] it
We could just get through it
[Ab] Just once, [Fm] I want to understand
[Bbm] Why it [Eb] always comes back [Ab] to [B] goodbyes
Why can't we [Abm] get ourselves in [Gb] hand
[Dbm] And [Ebm] admit to one [E] another, we're no [B] good without each [Dbm] other
Make the [B] best or make it better, [Em] we're here to stay [D] together
[A] Just once, [Am] can we find a [D] way to finally [G] make it right
[Em] To make the [Am] magic last for [Gbm] more than just [Bm] one night
[Em] Though we could break through it
[G] We could just get through it
[D] Just [A]
[G] once, [A] [D] [A] we [Gm] can get to [G] it
Just [Am] [D] once
