Maybe Tonight Lyrics

Maybe Tonight ? The Knack
The Knack
Maybe Tonight (1978)
(Doug Fieger)
From: "Get the Knack"
I have always liked this beautiful song!
When I sat down to transcribe it I noticed that there is something strange
about the A-chord in the verses: If my ears don't deceive me, the rhythm
guitar plays a major chord in the first half and a minor in the second. In
the second verse the lead guitar even plays a minor line (starting off from
a ?c?) over this major chord, thus creating a strange tension there. The
solo on the other hand (which uses the verse structure) has Am both times,
I think. If you don't hear it that way, just use Am throughout in the
verses. Comments are highly welcome!

I don't know why
I never said it before
I don't know why
I waited so long to be sure
But I ...
Everything's coming
(add9) (7)
Something is coming,
Maybe tonight
Funny to think
I had to clown and pretend
You never knew I saw you as
More than a friend
But I ...
Come hold me tighter
(add9) (7)
Come make it right
Maybe tonight
Oh, maybe tonight
Ever since the day I saw you
I was blown away
'cause I knew I could not say
All the things I had to say
I was such a shy guy
I could not tell you
I love you
Well, maybe tonight
Yes, maybe tonight

But I ...
Come hold me tighter (tighter)
(add9) (7)
Come make it right
Maybe tonight
Oh, maybe tonight
Ever since the day I saw you
I was blown away
'cause I knew I could not say
All the things could not say
I was such a shy guy
I could not tell you
I love you
Well, maybe tonight
Oh, maybe tonight
Yeah, maybe tonight
Oh, maybe tonight
Yeah, maybe tonight
