Chorus 1
[C] Just [G/C]once.
Can we [Gm]figure out what [C/E]we keep doin' [F]wrong?[F]
[Dm]Why we never [Em]last for very [Em]long?[Am]
What are we [Dm]doin' wrong?[G]
[C] Just [G/C]once.
Can we [Gm]find a way to [C/E]finally make it [F]right,[F]
to [Dm]make the magic [Em]last for more than [Em]just one [Am]night?
If we [Dm]could just [Dm]get to it, I [F/G]know we could break [F/G] through it.
