Intro:  D  G  D  Em  A7 

D          G
  I did my best 
      F#m               Bm
But I guess my best wasn't good enough 
      Em              A7            D  B7
'Cause here we are back where we were before 
     Em          A7
Seems nothing ever changes 
      F#m         Bm
We're back to be strangers 
Em              F#m
Wondering if we are to stay 
    G             A7
Or head on out the door 
  
D      A         Am             D7            G
  Just once can we figure out what we keep doing wrong 
Em           A7           F#m7  Bm
Why we never last for very long 
            Em         A7
What are we doing wrong 
D     A          Am            D7            G
  Just once can we find a way to finally make it right 
Em           A7                 F#m7     Bm
Make the magic last for more than just one night 
   Em                F#m
If we could just get to it 
  G                  A7         D G D A7
I know we could break through it 
  
I gave my all 
But I think my all may have been too much 
Lord knows we're not getting anywhere 
Seems we're always blowing 
Whatever we've got going 
And seems that time was all we've got 
We haven't got a break 
  
Just once can we figure out what we keep doing wrong 
Why the good times never last for very long 
What are we going wrong 
Just once can we find a way to finally make it right 
Make the magic last for more than just one night 
I know we could break through it 
If we could just get to it 
  
     Bb            Eb
Just once I want to understand 
Cm            F                Bb
Why it always comes back to goodbye 
C#                 F#
Why can't we get ourselves in hand 
    G#m         F#
And admit to one another 
G#m            F#
We?re no good without each other 
G#m               F#
Take the best, and make it better 
F#m               B7
Find a way to stay together 
 
     E          E7                          A
Just once can we find a way to finally make it right 
F#m           B7                G#m      C#m
Make the magic last for more than just one night 
   F#m                G#m
I know we could break through it 
   A               B7      E B7 E B7
If we could just get to it 
    E
Whoa oh 
       F#m   Bm
We could get to it 
     E  A E F#m B7 C#
Just once.
