I did my best
But i guest my best wasn't good enough
'Cause here we are, back where we were before
Seems nothin'ever changes,We're back to bein'stranger;
Wond'rin' if we ought to stay, Or head on out the door.
Just once can we figure out what we keep doin wrong?
Why we never last for very long;
What are we doing wrong?
Just once, can we find a way to finally make it right,
To make the magic last for more than just one night?
If we could just get to it,I know we could break through it hmmm.
I gave my all,
But think all my have been to much:
The lord knows we're not getting anywhere.
Seems we're always blowin
What ever we've got goin,
And it seems that time was all we've got; We havent got a friend.
Just once, can we figure out what we keep doin wrong,
W hy the good times never last for long?
Where are we goin wrong?
Just once, can we find a way to finally make it right,
To make the magic last for more than just one night?
I know we could break through it,
If we could just get to it.
Just once, I want to understand
Why it always comes back to goodbyes.
Why can't we get ourselves in hand,
(/D)
And admit to one another
(/D)
We're no good without each other?
(/D) [Em7] [A7](sus) [A7]
Take the best and make it better; Find a way to stay together.
(/D) (9) (/F) [Gm7] [F#m7]
Just once,we can find a way to fin'lly make it right, oh
to make the magic last for more than just one night?
I know we could break through it
If we could just get to it.
Repeat 2nd stanza of Chorus 2)
(/d)-G(/D)-
....just once.
(/D) (6)A7(sus)(hold)
Woh, we can get to it
just once.
-G(/D)(/f)- G (9 fr.)- [A7](SUS)-B(9)
oollrriigghht peace out!
