?CAN I BORROW A KISS?
by
THE KNACK
The song is played with an easy Mersey beat. The minor chord progressions are
typical of early 1960?s British pop. Can?t help but think of ?Needles and Pins?
by The Searchers when I play this. Hope it works for you.
Intro (also outro)
A A2 A A4 A A2 A E (played twice)
[//] [/] [/] [/////] [//] [/] [/][/////]
[E]I was a k[A]nock-kneed [E]freckle faced o[F#m]ver shy [C#m]under fed [D]boy
in the summer I'll [E]always re[A]member.
Said [D]I was h[A]igh-strung [E]middle-class [F#m]over-sexed [C#m]underemployed
by September [E]I was a [A]man.
I followed the [C#m]throng out [F#m]to the coast and [C#m]found
a [A]girl who stepped out of a s[Bm]ong
and my [D]world filled with light and sound as she said to [E]me
Chorus:
Can I borrow a [D]kiss that's what I [A]heard.
Can I borrow a [D]kiss no cost inc[A]urred
and I'll p[C#m]ay it back with i[F#m]nterest if you'll [D]only say the [E]word.
Can I borrow a [D]kiss like lovers [A]do,
Can I borrow a [D]kiss make dreams come [A]true
Let me [C#m]know I exist can I [F#m]borrow a kiss
and I'll g[D]ive it right back to [Bm]you
D A (intro sequence)
and I'll give it right back to you.
She was a d[A]ark-haired [E]satin-skinned [F#m]velvet-eyed [C#m]wisp of a girl
with a s[D]mile that could stop you from [A]breathing
She had me c[A]oming on [E]getting off [F#m]tuning in and out of this [D]world
and believing [E]love was for r[A]eal
Just like in a [C#m]poem, she [F#m]smiled that smile and [C#m]then
I [A]knew I would not be [Bm]alone
and that s[D]oon all my cares would end when she said to [E]me
Can I borrow a [D]kiss is what I h[A]eard
Can I borrow a [D]kiss no cost inc[A]urred
and I'll [C#m]pay it back with i[F#m]nterest, if you'll o[D]nly say the [E]word
Can I borrow a [D]kiss like lovers [A]do
Can I borrow a [D]kiss make dreams come [A]true
Let me know I e[C#m]xist can I [F#m]borrow a kiss
and I'll g[D]ive it right back to [Bm]you
and I'll g[D]ive it right back to [E]you[(A-A2-A-E)]
Bridge:
[C]When I look back upon the time that's passed away
[D]It always seems that all my dreams are yesterd[E]ay
(instrumental)
[D] [A]
[D] [A]
and I'll[C#m] pay it back with [F#m]interest, if you'll o[D]nly say the [E]word
Can I borrow a [D]kiss like lovers [A]do
Can I borrow a [D]kiss make dreams come [A]true
Let me know I e[C#m]xist can I [F#m]borrow a kiss
and I'll g[D]ive it right back to [Bm]you
and I'll g[D]ive it right back to [E]you
