Chorus:
Fm       A#m
Almost got what I want
C#            D#
Almost found what I lost
Fm              A#m
Almost saved you and myself
C#                D#
Almost won but it doesn't count
     Fm       A#m
And never does
C#
Never does

Fm
One green light
A#m                   C#
One more ring of the telephone
Fm
One more step
A#m
One more second
      C#
And I almost
Fm
Almost

Chorus

One hello
Just one kiss before the tears come
One yes
One chance
And I almost
Almost, almost, almost

Chorus

D#           Fm
One day, one year
      C#
5,000 weeks
           A#m                  Fm
A life of good works and good deeds
Let me be, let me be closer
A#
Or let me be
Let me be
Let me be

Chorus:
When I've almost got what I want
Almost found what I lost
Almost saved you and myself
Almost won but it doesn't count
And never does
Never does

One good guess
A question with an answer that I know
One idea
One grand notion
And I almost
Almost, almost, almost

Chorus:
Almost got what I want
Almost found what I lost
Almost saved you and myself
Almost won but it doesn't count
And never does
Never does
Never does
Never does
