Chorus 1
(C major) Just once (G/C)
Can't we (C9sus4) figure out
what we (C/E) keep doin' wrong (F minoraj7) (E minor7)
(D minor7) Why we never last (G/F) for very long (E minor7) (A minor7)
What are we do (D minor7) in' wrong (F/G) (G major)
(C major) Just once (G/C)
Can't we (C9sus4) find a way
to fi (C/E) nally make it (F minoraj7) right (E minor7)
To (D minor7) make the magic last (G/F) for more
than (E minor7) just one night (A minor7)
If (D minor7) we could just get to it
I (F/G) know we could break through it
Interlude 1

(C/E) (Fadd9) (F/G)
Verse 2
(C major) I gave my (F minoraj7) all
But I (E minor7) think my all may have been (A minor7) too much
'Cause (D minor7) Lord knows we're
not get (G/F) tin' anywhere (E minor7) (A minor7)
(D minor7) Seems we're always blow (F/G) in' (G/F)
What (Esus4) ever we've (E major) got go (G/A) in' (A minor/G)
And it (D minor7) seems at times with all (C/E) we've got
We (Fadd9) haven't got a prayer (F/G) (G major)

(G/F) never last for long (E minor7) (A minor7)
Where are we go (D minor7) in' wrong (F/G) (G major)
(C major) Just once (G/C)
Can't we (C9sus4) find a way
to fi (C/E) nally make (F minoraj7) it right (E minor7)
To (D minor7) make the magic last (G/F) for more
than (E minor7) just one night (A minor7)
I (D minor7) know we could break through it
If (F/G) we could just get to it just
Bridge 1
(A flatadd9) (once) I want to (F minor7) understand
(B flat minor7) Why it always (E flat7sus4) comes back to good (A flatadd9) bye
(Badd9) Why can't we get our (G sharp minor7) selves in hand
(C sharp minor7) And admit to one (B/D#) another
(Eadd9) We're no good without (B/D#) each other
(C sharp minor7) Take the best and make (B/D#) it better
(E minor7) Find a way to stay (A major) together

Can't we (D9sus4) find a way
to fi (D/F#) nally make it (G minoraj7) right, whoa (F sharp minor7)
(E minor7) Make the magic last (A/G) for more
than (F sharp minor7) just one night (B minor7)
I (E minor7) know we could break through it
If (G/A) we could just get to it
