I did my best 
      Em7                  G          
But I guess my best wasn't good enough
       Dm7              G             Em7   
'cause here we are back where we were before
Dm7           Gsus4       
Seems nothin' ever changes
E7            Esus4 Am       
We're back to bein' strangers
Dm7             Em7          
Wonderin' if we ought to stay
F                  Gsus4 G Gsus4 G
Or head on out the door  ■ ■     ■
     Cmaj7
Just once 
       Gm7             C7            Fmaj7 Em7
Can we figure out what we keep doin' wrong ■  
Dm7          F             Em7  Am7
Why we never last for very long ■  
            Dm7   Gsus4
What are we doin' wrong


[Chorus]
C      Cmaj7
■ Just once 
G      C7                            Fmaj7 Em7
Can we find a way to finally make it right ■  
   Dm7            G                  Em7      Am7  
To make the magic last for more than just one night
Dm7                       
If we could just get to it
Gsus4                           
I know we could break through it

[Verse]
C                Fmaj7
Hmmhmm I gave my all  
      Em7                   Am7          
But I think my all may have been too much
       Dm7                          G        Am7
'cause Lord knows we're not getting anywhere ■  
Dm7                Gsus4   G
Seems we're always blowin' ■
Esus4              Am   
Whatever we've got goin'
    Dm7                    Em7       C  
And it seems at times with all we've got
F                Gsus4  G7
We haven't got a prayer ■ 
C          
■ Just once
       C7                            Fmaj7
Can we figure out what we keep doin' wrong
Dm7                               Em7 
Why the good times never last for long
Am7              Dm7   Gsus4
■   Where are we goin' wrong
C Cmaj7    
■ Just once
         C7     Csus4  C7      Fmaj7        
Can't we find a way to finally make it right
Dm7               Fmaj7              Em7      Am7  
To make the magic last for more than just one night
Dm7                             
I know we could break through it
Gsus4                     
If we could just get to it
Ab       
Just once
       Fm7          
I want to understand
Bbm7          Ebsus4        Ab     
Why it always comes back to goodbye


[Chorus]
B                Abm7             
Why can't we get ourselves in hand
Dbm7         Ebm7       
And admit to one another
              B                 
We're no good without each other
Dbm7             B             
Take the best to make it better
Em7           Asus4 D       
Find a way to stay  together
Dmaj7    
Just once
       Dsus4  D      Gbm7            Gmaj7
Can we find a way to finally make it right
Em7            Gmaj7              Gbm7     Bm7  
Make the magic last for more than just one night
Em7                             
I know we could break through it
Asus4                     
If we could just get to it
D    A    G D
Just once ■ ■
              A   Asus4     
Whoaoh We can get through it
G        
Just once
