E        A          E              F#m     C#m       D  
I was a knock-kneed freckle faced over shy under fed boy 
                   E        A
in the summer I'll always remember.
     D      A          E            F#m        C#m
Said I was high-strung middle-class over-sexed underemployed
             E       A
by September I was a man.
               C#m        F#m              C#m
I followed the throng out to the coast and found 
  A                          Bm
a girl who stepped out of a song
       D                                                E
and my world filled with light and sound as she said to me

Chorus:   
               D                  A
Can I borrow a kiss that's what I heard.
               D               A
Can I borrow a kiss no cost incurred
          C#m              F#m               D            E
and I'll pay it back with interest if you'll only say the word.
               D                A
Can I borrow a kiss like lovers do, 
               D                     A
Can I borrow a kiss make dreams come true
       C#m                F#m
Let me know I exist can I borrow a kiss 
          D                    Bm
and I'll give it right back to you
          D                    A    (intro sequence)
and I'll give it right back to you.


           A          E             F#m         C#m
She was a dark-haired satin-skinned velvet-eyed wisp of a girl
        D                             A
with a smile that could stop you from breathing
            A        E           F#m                       D
She had me coming on getting off tuning in and out of this world
              E             A
and believing love was for real
               C#m       F#m                   C#m
Just like in a poem , she smiled that smile and then

  A                   Bm
I knew I would not be alone
          D                                           E
and that soon all my cares would end when she said to me

               D               A
Can I borrow a kiss is what I heard
               D               A
Can I borrow a kiss no cost incurred
         C#m               F#m                 D           E
and I'll pay it back with interest, if you'll only say the word
               D                A
Can I borrow a kiss like lovers do
               D                     A
Can I borrow a kiss make dreams come true
               C#m        F#m
Let me know I exist can I borrow a kiss
          D                    Bm
and I'll give it right back to you
          D                    E      ( A - A2 - A - E )
and I'll give it right back to you


Bridge:
C
When I look back upon the time that's passed away
D                                             E
It always seems that all my dreams are yesterday

and I'll pay it back with interest, if you'll only say the word
               D                A
Can I borrow a kiss like lovers do
               D                     A
Can I borrow a kiss make dreams come true
               C#m        F#m
Let me know I exist can I borrow a kiss
          D                    Bm

          D                    E   
and I'll give it right back to you
