THAT NIGHT
Lachlan Irvine
[G][C][G][Em][C][D][G]
[G] I met her at the [C] local country [G] dance;
I was [G] blown away by [C] just one single [D] glance.
[G] In a dress of emerald [C] green, the prettiest [G] girl I'd ever [Em] seen
[C] Filled my heart with [D] visions of ro-[G]-mance.
[G] That night when I [C] almost got it [G] right;
When the [G] holy grail was [C] coming into [D] sight.
[G] I knew what I should [C] say, but she [G] took my breath a-[Em]-way,
That [C] night when I [D] almost got it [G] right. [C][D][G]
[G] We danced while they [C] played my favourite [G] song;
We [G] both knew the [C] words and sang a-[D]-long.
She [G] couldn't have been more [C] sweet, de-[G]-spite my two left [Em] feet,
[C] I thought this couldn't [D] possibly go [G] wrong.
That [G] night when I [C] almost got it [G] right;
I [G] know I should have [C] seen the warning [D] light.
I [G] knew I should be [C] cool, but I [G] felt just like a [Em] fool,
That [C] night when I [D] almost got it [G] right. [C][D][G]
[G] She went with me out-[C]-side to get some [G] air;
[G] How I longed to [C] kiss her then and [D] there.
[G] I tell you for a [C] fact, I knew just [G] how I ought to [Em] act,
If [C] only I could [D] show a bit more [G] flair.
That [G] night when I [C] almost got it [G] right;
When the [G] moon and the [C] stars were shining [D] bright.
[G] I knew just what to [C] do, if I could [G] only follow [Em] through,
That [C] night when I [D] almost got it [G] right. [C][D][G]
[G] I asked if I could [C] see her tomorrow [G] night;
To [G] my surprise she [C] said that'd be al-[D]-right.
In [G] matters of the [C] heart, you can [G] see I'm not too [Em] smart,
But even [C] I could tell this was [D] true love at first [G] sight;
That [G] night when I [C] almost got it [G] right;
If I [G] hadn't been over-[C]-come by stage-[D]-fright.
[G] I knew how great it could [C] be, if I'd been [G] anyone else but [Em] me,
That [C] night when I [D] almost got it [G] right, oh yeah! [Em]
That [C] night when I [D] almost got it [G] right, I was this close. [Em]
That [C] night when I [D] almost got it [G] right.
