Song: The Weakness In Me Artist: Joan Armatrading Album: "Walk Under Ladders" - 1981
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
I'm not the sort of person who falls in and quickly out of love
But to you I gave my affection right from the start
I have a lover who loves me, how could I break such a heart
Yet still you gained my attention
Chorus:
Why do you come here when you know I've got trouble enough
Why do you call me when you know I can't answer the phone
You make me lie and I don't want to
You make someone else some kind of unknowing fool
You make me stay when I should not
Are you so strong or is all the weakness in me
Why do you come here and pretend to be just passing by
But I need to see you
And I need to hold you, tightly
Feeling guilty, worried, waking from tormented sleep
This old love has bound but the new love cuts deep
if I choose now, I'll lose out, one of you has to fall
