Intro: C Dm/C [ch]Cmaj7/E[/ch] Fmaj7 [ch]Fmaj7/G[/ch] G 


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     [ch]E7/G#[/ch]   Am    Am/G
We're back to being strangers
Dm7             [ch]Cadd2/E[/ch]
Wondering if we ought to stay 

[ch]Fadd2[/ch]             F/G   G   F/G   G
Or head on out the door

C         G/C
    Just once...

         Gm7/C           [ch]C7/E[/ch]             Fmaj7        C/E
Can't we figure out what we keep doin' wrong
Dm7              G/F            Em7     [ch]Am(add2)[/ch]    Am
Why we never last for very long
               Dm7           F/G     G  
What are we doin' wrong
C         G/C
     Just once...
         Gm7/C           [ch]C7/E[/ch]             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     [ch]E7/G#[/ch]   Am    Am/G
Whatever we've got goin'
Dm7             [ch]Cadd2/E[/ch]
And it seems at times with all we've got
[ch]Fadd2[/ch]             F/G   G   F/G   G
We haven't got a prayer

C         G/C
    Just once...

         Gm7/C           [ch]C7/E[/ch]             Fmaj7        C/E
Can't we figure out what we keep doin' wrong
Dm7              G/F            Em7     [ch]Am(add2)[/ch]    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           [ch]C7/E[/ch]             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)

     [ch]Ab(add2)[/ch]
Just once
          Fm7 
I want to understand...
Bbm7            [ch]Db/Eb[/ch]       [ch]Ab(add2)[/ch]   Ab
Why it always comes back to goodbye
[ch]B(add2)[/ch] 
Why 
                  G#m7
Can't we get ourselves in hand
C#m7          [ch]B(add2)/D#[/ch]
And admit to one another
[ch]E(add2)[/ch]          [ch]B(add2)/D#[/ch]         
We're no good without each other
C#m7               [ch]B(add2)/D#[/ch]
Take the best and make it better
Em7           G/A        A
Find a way to stay together

D      A/D
  Just once
         Am7/D            D7/F#         Gmaj7
Can't we find a way to finally make it right 
D/F#  Em7       A/G                  F#m7            Bm(add2)   Bm
    Make the magic last for more than just one night

I know we could break through it
   G/A
If we could just get to it
      D    A/D      G/D      A/D    D
Just Once..
