Lyrics

I’d like to say we (D7)gave it a try.

I’d like to blame it (Gm)all on life.

May be we (D7)just weren’t right,

but (G)that’s a lie,

(Gm)that’s a lie.

And (Bm)we can de ny it as (F#)much as we want, but in (Bm7)time our feel ings will (E)show.

’Cause (G)soon er or la ter we’ll (D)won der why we gave up.

The (Bbmaj7)truth is, ev ’ry one (G)knows:

Al

most,

(D7)al most is nev er e nough.

(Gm7)So close to be ing in (Dmaj7)love.

If (D7)I would have known that you (G)want ed me

the way I (Gm7)want ed you,

then (Bm)may be we would n’t be (A)two worlds a part

but (Am7)right here in (D7)each oth er’s (Gmaj7)arms.

And we (Dmaj7)al

most,

(Am11)we al most what love was.

But (E)al most is nev er e nough.

If I could change the (D7)world o ver night,

there’d be no such (Gm)thing as good bye.

You’d be stand ing (D7)right where you were and (G)we’d get the chance we de serve.

(Bm)Try to de ny it as (F#)much as you want but in (Bm7)time our feel ings will (E)show.

’Cause (G)soon er or la ter we’ll (D)won der why we gave up.

The (Bbmaj7)truth is, ev ’ry one (G)knows:

Al

most,

(D7)al most is nev er e nough.

(Gm7)So close to be ing in (Dmaj7)love.

If (D7)I would have known that you (G)want ed me

the way I (Gm7)want ed you,

then (Bm)may be we would n’t be (A)two worlds a part

but (Am7)right here in (D7)each oth er’s (Gmaj7)arms.

And we (Dmaj7)al

most,

(Am11)we al most what love (G)was.

But (E)al most is nev er e nough.
