Cadd9         Fmaj7 
     I did my best
      Em7                    Am9  
But I guess my best wasn't good enough
      Dm7              G/F                Em7   Am(add2) Am  
Cause here we are back where we were before
      Dm7             Gsus    G
Seems nothin' ever changes
      E7sus     E7/G#   Am    Am/G
We're back to being strangers
Dm7             Cadd2/E
Wondering if we ought to stay 

Fadd2             F/G   G   F/G   G
Or head on out the door

C         G/C
    Just once...

         Gm7/C           C7/E             Fmaj7        C/E
Can't we figure out what we keep doin' wrong
Dm7              G/F            Em7     Am(add2)    Am
Why we never last for very long
               Dm7           F/G     G  
What are we doin' wrong
C         G/C
     Just once...
         Gm7/C           C7/E             Fmaj7        C/E
Can't we find a way to finally make it right
   Dm7              G/F            Em7     [ch]Am(add2)[/ch[    Am
To make the magic last for more than just one night
    Dm7
If we could just get to it
F/G
I know we could break through it
(Hmm hmmmm)

Cadd9         Fmaj7 
I gave my all
      Em7                    Am9  
But I think my all may have been too much
      Dm7              G/F                Em7   Am(add2) Am  
Cause Lord knows we're not gettin' anywhere
      Dm7             Gsus    G
Seems we're always blowin'
      E7sus     E7/G#   Am    Am/G
Whatever we've got goin'
Dm7             Cadd2/E
And it seems at times with all we've got
Fadd2             F/G   G   F/G   G
We haven't got a prayer

C         G/C
    Just once...

         Gm7/C           C7/E             Fmaj7        C/E
Can't we figure out what we keep doin' wrong
Dm7              G/F            Em7     Am(add2)    Am
Why the good times never last for long
               Dm7           F/G     G  
What are we doin' wrong
C         G/C
     Just once...
         Gm7/C           C7/E             Fmaj7        C/E
Can't we find a way to finally make it right
   Dm7              G/F            Em7    Am(add2    Am
To make the magic last for more than just one night
    Dm7
If we could just get to it
F/G
I know we could break through it
(Hmm hmmmm)

Just once
          Fm7 
I want to understand...
Bbm7            Db/Eb       Ab(add2)   Ab
Why it always comes back to goodbye
B(add2) 
Why 
                  G#m7
Can't we get ourselves in hand
C#m7          B(add2)/D#
And admit to one another
E(add2)          B(add2)/D#         
We're no good without each other
C#m7               B(add2)/D#
Take the best and make it better

Find a way to stay together
