[Verse 1]
It's a hard run
Loving like we do
Takes way too long to get over you
And remember the line we drew
But call me over and I'm coming through

[Chorus]
We're searching for the night together
Where we don't fall apart
Might be now and it might be never
It's just another shot in the dark
It's just another shot in the dark

[Verse 2]
And I wonder what it all means
Strange conversation with you in my dreams
And I don't know what I'm gonna do
I've loved seven other women and thеy all were you

[Chorus]
We had a run of bad romancеs
They always missed the mark
So close your eyes now and take your chances
It's just another shot in the dark
It's just another shot in the dark

[Bridge]
I want you in the worst way
Is the gate code still your birthday

[Chorus]
If you thought you met your Casanova
And he left you with a broken heart
Remember when it's done and over
It was only just a shot in the dark
It was only just a shot in the dark
It's just another shot in the dark
It's just another shot in the dark

John Clayton Mayer, born October 16, 1977, is a singer-songwriter and guitarist whose work has spanned many genres over the course of his career. Raised in Fairfield, Connecticut, he attended the prestigious Berklee College of Music, hoping to refine his guitar skills. He dropped out after one year to pursue his career.

After striking a deal with Aware/Columbia Records, he released his debut album, Room for Squares in 2001. The single “Your Body Is a Wonderland” launched him to fame, winning him a Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance in 2003. That same year, he released his second album Heavier Things, spawning the single “Daughters”, which won Song of the Year in 2005.

After performing soft rock/pop in his early career, he began moving towards the blues genre that had initially influenced him as a musician, collaborating with B.B. King and Eric Clapton among others. In 2005, he formed the blues group John Mayer Trio, releasing Try! that same year. Mayer’s 2006 album Continuum continued his foray into the blues genre and won him Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album in 2007, producing the hit singles “Waiting on the World to Change” and “Gravity”.
