The Weakness In Me

Joan Armatrading

From: "Walk Under Ladders" 1981

This is what it sounds like to me.

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.  

Intro: G  Em  C  G

              G       D  Em              C  

I'm not the sort of person who falls in and quickly out of love

    G       D            C    G

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  G

And I need to hold you,    tightly

G  Em  C  G

     G       D     Em              C

Feeling guilty, worried, waking from tormented sleep

     G      D               C    G

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.

Repeat chorus

G  Em  C  G
