I did my best
       Em7                        Am7
But i guest my best wasn't good enough
    Dm7                 Em7           Em7-Am7
'Cause here we are, back where we were before
   Dm7          G7susG7    E7sus    E7      Am7
Seems nothin'ever changes,We're back to bein'stranger;

Wond'rin' if we ought to stay, Or head on out the door.
  
Chorus 1
 C    G             C             C7            FM7
Just once can we figure out what we keep doin wrong?
 Dm7            G7           Am7
Why we never last for very long;
 Dm7             G7sus
What are we doing wrong?
 C     G           C             C7              FM7
Just once, can we find a way to finally make it right,
  Dm7              G7                Em7       Am7
To make the magic last for more than just one night?
    Dm7                       G7sus                   C(9)-FM7  C-FM7,G
If we could just get to it,I know we could break through it     hmmm.

But think all my have been to much:

The lord knows we're not getting anywhere.
 Dm7          G7sus,G7
Seems we're always blowin
 E7sus   E7          Am7
What ever we've got goin,
       Dm7                 C                 FM7      G7sus-G7
And it seems that time was all we've got; We havent got a friend.
