The Weakness In Me by Joan Armatrading


                           The Weakness In Me 


Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo

Note:  Some of the C's sound like C9's = x32033, and some of the Em's sound
like Em9's = 022002, especially in the instrumental parts, so you can mix
it up and see which ones you like.

[Verse]
 
                     G           D   Em                     C
I'm not the sort of person who falls in and quickly out of love
        G               D                       C
But to you I gave my affection right from the start
          G         D        Em                        C
I have a lover who loves me, how could I break such a heart
      G                    D      C     G
Yet still you gained my attention
 
 
[Chorus]
 
            Em                 C                      G
Why do you come here when you know I've got trouble enough
       Em                       C                      G
Why do you call me when you know I can't answer the phone
             D               C
You make me lie and I don't want to
                  D                           G
You make someone else some kind of unknowing fool
             D            C
You make me stay when I should not
              D                             G
Are you so strong or is all the weakness in me
            Em               C                      G
Why do you come here and pretend to be just passing by
               D   C  D  G
But I need to see you
               D    C   D  G       D
And I need to hold you,    tightly
 
G  Em  C  G
 
 
[Verse]
 
          G       D       Em                     C
Feeling guilty, worried, waking from tormented sleep
     G               D                         C
This old love has bound but the new love cuts deep
       G               D         Em                C
if I choose now, I'll lose out, one of you has to fall
           G         D    C G
But I need you, and you.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
            Em                 C                      G
Why do you come here when you know I've got trouble enough
            Em               C                        G
Why do you call me when you know I can't answer the phone
             D               C
You make me lie and I don't want to
              D                               G
You make someone else some kind of unknowing fool
              D            C
You make me stay when I should not
             D                              G
Are you so strong or is all the weakness in me
            Em                C                      G
Why do you come here and pretend to be just passing by
               D   C   D  G
But I need to see you 
               D    C    D  G    D
And I need to hold you,    tightly
