Just Once

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

Just once
