Dmaj7             D7
I like to say we gave it a try
G6                   Gm
I like to blame it all on life
Dmaj7      D7
Maybe we just weren’t right
    Gmaj7         Gm
But that’s a lie, that’s a lie

    Bm                Bmaj7
And we can deny it as much as we want
       Bm7                     E7
But in time our feelings will show
       G
Cause sooner or later
       D
We'll wonder why we gave up
     A#maj7             A
The truth is everyone knows

Chorus:
Dmaj7   D7               Gmaj7
Almost, almost is never enough
Gm                   Dmaj7
So close to being in love
   D7                          Gmaj7
If I would have known that you wanted me
          Gm
The way I wanted you
     Bm                     A/C#
Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart
    Am7                       G
But right here in each others arms

       Dmaj7   D7                       Gmaj7
And we almost, we almost knew what love was
    Gm
But almost is never enough

If I could change the world overnight
There'd be no such thing as goodbye
You'd be standing right where you were
And we'd get the chance we deserve, oh

Try to deny it as much as you want
But in time our feelings will show
'Cause sooner or later we'll wonder why we gave up
The truth is everyone knows

Chorus

Huh-huh, baby
You know, you know, baby
Almost, is never enough, baby
You know, hey

And we can deny it as much as we want
But in time our feelings will show
'Cause sooner or later we'll wonder why we gave up
The truth is, everyone knows

Chorus:
Almost, almost is never enough
(Is never enough, baby)
So close to being in love (So close)
If I would have known that you wanted me
The way I wanted you
Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart
But right here in each other's arms
And we almost, we almost knew what love was (Baby)
But almost is never enough

Huh-huh, baby (Almost)
You know, you know, baby
Almost, is never enough, baby
You know, hey
