E5        A5          E5              F#5     C#5       D5  
I was a knock-kneed freckle faced over shy under fed boy 
                   E5        A5
in the summer I'll always remember.
     D5      A5          E5            F#5        C#5
Said I was high-strung middle-class over-sexed underemployed
             E5       A5
by September I was a man.
               C#5        F#5              C#5
I followed the throng out to the coast and found 
  A5                          B5
a girl who stepped out of a song
       D5                                                E5
and my world filled with light and sound as she said to me

Chorus:   
               D5                  A5
Can I borrow a kiss that's what I heard.
               D5               A5
Can I borrow a kiss no cost incurred
          C#5              F#5               D5            E5
and I'll pay it back with interest if you'll only say the word.
               D5                A5
Can I borrow a kiss like lovers do, 
               D5                     A5
Can I borrow a kiss make dreams come true
       C#5                F#5
Let me know I exist can I borrow a kiss 
          D5                    B5
and I'll give it right back to you
          D5                    A5    (intro sequence)
and I'll give it right back to you.


           A5          E5             F#5         C#5
She was a dark-haired satin-skinned velvet-eyed wisp of a girl
        D5                             A5
with a smile that could stop you from breathing
            A5        E5           F#5                       D5
She had me coming on getting off tuning in and out of this world
              E5             A5
and believing love was for real
               C#5       F#5                   C#5
Just like in a poem , she smiled that smile and then

  A5                   B5
I knew I would not be alone
          D5                                           E5
and that soon all my cares would end when she said to me

               D5               A5
Can I borrow a kiss is what I heard
               D5               A5
Can I borrow a kiss no cost incurred
         C#5               F#5                 D5           E5
and I'll pay it back with interest, if you'll only say the word
               D5                A5
Can I borrow a kiss like lovers do
               D5                     A5
Can I borrow a kiss make dreams come true
               C#5        F#5
Let me know I exist can I borrow a kiss
          D5                    B5
and I'll give it right back to you
          D5                    E5      ( A5 - A5 - A5 - E5 )
and I'll give it right back to you


Bridge:
C5
When I look back upon the time that's passed away
D5                                             E5
It always seems that all my dreams are yesterday

               D5                A5
Can I borrow a kiss like lovers do
               D5                     A5
Can I borrow a kiss make dreams come true
               C#5        F#5
Let me know I exist can I borrow a kiss
          D5                    B5
and I'll give it right back to you

and I'll give it right back to you
