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
