Can I Borrow a Kiss The Knack
�?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)

[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
