Bm7-5  E7      A              AM7        D
This time we almost made the pieces fit, didn't we, girl?

  Dm           Fdim             D          AM7         C#7
This time we almost made some sense of it, didn't we, girl?

F#m        Cdim                  F#m7       F#m6
This time I had the answer right here in my hand;

DM7 Bm7  AM7          DM7  G  Bm7-5      E7
Then I touched it, and it had turned to sand.

  E7          A              AM7            D
This time we almost sang our song in tune, didn't we, girl?

  Bm         Fdim(III)       D            AM7        C#7
This time we almost made it to the moon, didn't we, girl?

F#m           Fdim           F#m7 F#m6
This time we almost made our poem rhyme;

 DM7          A               Bm7   C#m   DM7
This time we almost made that long, hard climb.

 Bm        Bm+7   D6     Dm6  C#m        C#m7  F#7
Didn't we almost make it,    didn't we almost make it,

 Bm        Bm7   E7      Fdim   A    Dm   A
Didn't we almost make it this time?
