Just Once

[Intro] C  F  C  Dm  G7

C        F
  I did my best
    Em          Am
But I guess my best wasn't good enough
   Dm          G7               A7
'Cause here we are back where we were before
  Dm              G7
Seems nothing ever changes
   Em          Am
We're back to be strangers
Dm           Em
Wondering if we are to stay
  F               G7
Or head on out the door

C     G           Gm               C7        F
  Just once can we figure out what we keep doing wrong
Dm            G7         Em7    Am
Why we never last for very long
            Dm           G7
What are we doing wrong
C    G       Gm             C7         F
  Just once can we find a way to finally make it right
Dm       G7             Em7     Am
Make the magic last for more than just one night
   Dm            Em
If we could just get to it
  F          G7      C  F  C  G7
I know we could break through it
C       F
I gave my all
    Em             Am
But I think my all may have been too much
   Dm          G7         C  A7
Lord knows we're not getting anywhere
  Dm       G7
Seems we're always blowing
  Em        Am
Whatever we've got going
Dm         Em
And seems that time was all we've got
 F         G7
We haven't got a break
C     G      Gm              C7            F
 Just once can we figure out what we keep doing wrong
Dm                G7                 Em7   Am
Why the good times never last for very long
             Dm           G7
What are we going wrong
C    G      Gm                 C7              F
Just once can we find a way to finally make it right
Dm             G7             Em7          Am
Make the magic last for more than just one night
   Dm                 Em
I know we could break through it
 F            G7
If we could just get to it

   Ab        Db
Just once I want to understand
A#m            D#           Ab
Why it always comes back to goodbye
B                        E
Why can't we get ourselves in hand
  F#m             E
And admit to one another
F#m             E
We?re no good without each other
F#m            E
Take the best, and make it better
Em           A7
Find a way to stay together

D    A           Am        D7                 G
Just once can we find a way to finally make it right
Em              A7           F#m     Bm
Make the magic last for more than just one night
   Em          F#m
I know we could break through it
   G          A7     D  A7  D  A7
If we could just get to it
 D
Whoa oh
   Em    Am
We could get to it
  D  G  D  Em  A7  B
Just once
