[Intro]
C FM7 Em7 FM7
[Verse 1]
C9 FM7
I did my best
Em7 Am7
But I guess my best wasn't good enough
Dm7 G7 Em7 Am7
'Cause here we are, back where we were before
Dm7 G7sus4 G7 E7sus4 E7 Am7
Seems nothin' ever changes, we're back to bein' stranger;
Dm7 C/E FM7 G7sus4 G7
Wonderin' if we ought to stay, or head on out the door.
[Chorus 1]
C G/C Gm7 C7 FM7
Just once can we figure out what we keep doin' wrong?
Dm7 G7 Em7 Am
Why we never last for very long;
Dm7 G7sus4
What are we doing wrong?
C G/C Gm7 C7 FM7
Just once, can we find a way to finally make it right,
Dm7 G7 Em7 Am7
To make the magic last for more than just one night?
Dm7 G7sus4 C9 FM7 C FM7 G
If we could just get to it, I know we could break through it. hmmm.
[Verse 2]
C9 FM7
I gave my all,
Em7 Am7
But think all my have been too much:
Dm7 G7 Em7 Am
The lord knows we're not getting anywhere.
Dm7 G7sus4 G7
Seems we're always blowin'
E7sus4 E7 Am7
What ever we've got goin',
Dm7 C FM7 G7sus4 G7
And it seems that time was all we've got; We haven't got a prayer.
[Chorus 2]
C G/C Gm7 C7 FM7
Just once, can we figure out what we keep doin' wrong,
Dm7 G7 Em7 Am
Why the good times never last for long?
Dm7 G7sus4 G7
Where are we goin wrong?
C G/C Gm7 C7 FM7
Just once, can we find a way to finally make it right,
Dm7 G7 Em7 Am7
To make the magic last for more than just one night?
Dm7
I know we could break through it,
G7sus4
If we could just get to it.

Take the best and make it better; Find a way to stay together.
