Weak in the Knees
Serena Rider
Capo 5th
Intro:
x3
Verse:
Would you mind if I pretended we were somewhere else
doin' somethin' we wanted to
cause all this livin' makes me want do is die
cause i can't live with you
you don't even care
Would you mind if I pretended
I was someone else
with courage in love and war
I used to think that’s what I was
but now this lying hurts too much
and I don't know what for
Chorus:
I'm weak in the knees for you
but I'll stand if you want me to
my legs are strong and I'll move on
but hunny I’m weak in the knees
x2
Verse
Would you mind if I walked over
and I kissed your face
in front of all of your friends
would you mind if i got drunk and said,
"I wanna take you home to bed"
oh would you change your mind?
Chorus:
I'm weak in the knees for you
but I'll stand if you want me to
my legs are strong and I'll move on
but hunny I’m weak in the knees
Bridge:
Oh for you....
Chorus
I'm weak in the knees for you,
but I'll stand if you want me to
ohhh my legs are strong, I'll move on
hunny I’m weak in the knees
I'm weak in the knees for you,
but I'll stand if you want me too
my legs are strong and I'll move on
but Hunny I’m weak
ohh hunny I’m weak
ohhh for you x3
First, I play this with a capo in the second fret, just to get the vocals up an octave
works well for me. As for the riffy things, all I do is add a little run down from C to
when playing the chorus. So that would be C, C add2/B, Am. I also throw in a couple of
"double fingering" techniques, such as in transitioning from the G to the C you can
off/hammer on with your index finger on the 5th string, second fret just before
to the C from G. This combined with the run down from C to Am dresses the song up nicely.
Cheers!
