  Song: The Weakness In Me

  Artist: Joan Armatrading

  Album: "Walk Under Ladders" - 1981

  Transcribed by Lisa Skerritt = lskerrit@direct.ca

  

  Note:  Some of the C's sound like C9's = 032033, 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.  Sometimes i strum this song, 

  and sometimes i finger pick it, depending on my mood.

  

  

  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
