5  6   5  -6   -6 -6   6  -8   -8   -8-7   7    6  6    

I did my best, but I guess my best wasn’t good enough

  5    -5   -5 -5   6    -6   6   6   -5  6 

‘cause here we are back where we were before

 5    -5   5  -5 5  -6 6      6    8  -9  8 -8  7 -8  7

Seems nothing ever changes, we’re back to being strangers,

 -6   -7  7 -7   7    -7   7    6  -6  7   7  -7  -8  

Wondering if we ought to stay, or head on out the door

 8    -8   -8   8  -9 -9  -9   -9 -98  8  -8 8     7

Just once can’t we figure out what we keep doin’ wrong?

 7  7   7 7   7   -7  -6-7   6    4   -4  5  5 -5    -5

Why we never last for very long? What are we doin’ wrong? 

 8    -8  -8  8  -9  -9 -9  -9  9  9   -10  8-6  7

Just once can we find a way to finally make it  right?

4   7    7   7 7  7-8  -8  -7  -6 6   6  -8-7   7

To make the magic last for more than just one night?

4  -5  -5    -5  -5 -6  6   6 -9   8   -9    8      -8    7-6 

If we could just get to it, I know we could break through it.

(Repeat from top)  

I gave my all, but I think my all may have been too much

‘cause Lord we’re not getting’ an-y-where

Seems we’re always blow-in’ what-ever we got go-in’

 7   7  -6   -7  7    -7   7   -7  7  6  -6 7    7  -7  -8

And it seems at times with all we got we haven’t got a prayer

Just once can’t we figure out what we keep doing wrong?

Why the good times never last for long?  Where are we go-in’ wrong?

Just once can we find a way to finally make it right?

To make the magic last for more than just one night 

4  -5  -5  -5    -5     -6    6  6 -9   8    -9   8   9  9 

I know we could break through it if we could just get to it

8-87  7 

Just once

The next parts are above "my pay grade".
