              Intro:  Dmaj7   D7   G6/D   Gm6/D  
 
Dmaj7  
                   D7             G6  
I'd like to say we gave it a try    
                     Gm6      
I'd like to blame it all on life    
Dmaj7    D7                     G             Gm    
Maybe we just weren't right, but that's a lie, that's a lie    
    Bm              BbAug     
And we can deny it as much as we want    
        D/A                    E/G#    
But in time our feelings will show    
G    
'Cause sooner or later    
D    
We'll wonder why we gave up    
Bb                     A    
The truth is everyone knows    
D       D7               G    
 Almost, almost is never enough    
Gm                    D    
So close to being in love    
D7                              G    
If I would have known that you wanted me    
           Gm   
The way I wanted you    
Bm                        C#m/C#         
Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart    
    Am                         G    
But right here in each others arms    
        D          D7               G    
Here we almost, we almost knew what love was    
    Gm             D    
But almost is never enough    
D                     D7    
If I could change the world overnight    
G                  Gm    
There'd be no such thing as goodbye    
D                 D7    
You'll be standing right where you were    
G                        Gm   
And we'd get the chance we deserve    
Bm                 
Try to deny it as much as you want    
       Bm                     E    
But in time our feelings will show    
G    
'Cause sooner or later    
D   
We'll wonder why we gave up    
Bb                     A    
The truth is everyone knows    
D       D7              G   
Almost, almost is never enough (is never enough, babe)    
        Gm                    D    
We were so close to being in love (so close)    
D7                             G                  Gm    
If I would have known that you wanted me the way I wanted you, babe    
Bm                         A         
Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart    
    Am             D7           G   
But right here in each others arms    
      D         D7                      G   
Here we almost, we almost knew what love was    
    Gm             D    
But almost is never enough
