�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 Asus4 A A2 A E (played twice)
// / / ///// // / / /////
E A E F#m C#m D
I was a knock-kneed freckle faced over shy under fed boy
E A
in the summer I'll always remember.
D A E F#m C#m
Said I was high-strung middle-class over-sexed underemployed
E A
by September I was a man.
C#m F#m C#m
I followed the throng out to the coast and found
A Bm
a girl who stepped out of a song
D E
and my world filled with light and sound as she said to me
Chorus:
D A
Can I borrow a kiss that's what I heard.
D A
Can I borrow a kiss no cost incurred
C#m F#m D E
and I'll pay it back with interest if you'll only say the word.
D A
Can I borrow a kiss like lovers do,
D A
Can I borrow a kiss make dreams come true
C#m F#m
Let me know I exist can I borrow a kiss
D Bm
and I'll give it right back to you
D A (intro sequence)
and I'll give it right back to you.
A E F#m C#m
She was a dark-haired satin-skinned velvet-eyed wisp of a girl
D A
with a smile that could stop you from breathing
A E F#m D
She had me coming on getting off tuning in and out of this world
E A
and believing love was for real
C#m F#m C#m
Just like in a poem, she smiled that smile and then
A Bm
I knew I would not be alone
D E
and that soon all my cares would end when she said to me
D A
Can I borrow a kiss is what I heard
D A
Can I borrow a kiss no cost incurred
C#m F#m D E
and I'll pay it back with interest, if you'll only say the word
D A
Can I borrow a kiss like lovers do
D A
Can I borrow a kiss make dreams come true
C#m F#m
Let me know I exist can I borrow a kiss
D Bm
and I'll give it right back to you
D E (A-A2-A-E)
and I'll give it right back to you
Bridge:
C
When I look back upon the time that's passed away
D E
It always seems that all my dreams are yesterday

C#m F#m D E
and I'll pay it back with interest, if you'll only say the word
D A
Can I borrow a kiss like lovers do
D A
Can I borrow a kiss make dreams come true

Let me know I exist can I borrow a kiss
D Bm
and I'll give it right back to you

and I'll give it right back to you
