The Weakness In Me

Tom: G

[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

[Refrão]

           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 me 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

[Refrão]

           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 )
