Verse
D G A D
You ask me if I love you And I choke on my reply
F#m Bm E7 A
I'd rather hurt you honestly Than mislead you with a lie
Em A D A/C# Bm A
And who I am to judge you On what you say or do?
G D E7 A A7
I'm only just beginning to see the real you
[Chorus]
D G A F#m
And sometimes when we touch The honesty's too much
Bm E7 A A7
And I have to close my eyes and hide
D G A F#m
I wanna hold you til I die Til we both break down and cry
Em A D
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
[Verse]
D G A D
Romance and all its strategy Leaves me battling with my pride
F#m Bm E7 A
But through the insecurity Some tenderness survives
Em A D D/C# Bm A
I'm just another writer Still trapped within my truth
G D E7 A A7
B hesitant prize fighter Still trapped within my youth
[Chorus]
D G A F#m
And sometimes when we touch The honesty's too much
Bm E7 A A7
And I have to close my eyes and hide
D G A F#m
I wanna hold you til I die Til we both break down and cry
Em A D
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
[Bridge]
A D
At times I'd like to break you And drive you to your knees
Bm F#m G A
At times I'd like to break through And hold you endlessly
[Verse]
D G A D
At times I understand you And I know how hard you've tried
F#m Bm E7 A
I've watched while love commands you And I've watched love pass you by
Em A D A/C# Bm A
At times I think we're drifters Still searching for a friend
G D E7 A A7
B brother or a sister But then the passion flares again
[Chorus]
D G A F#m
And sometimes when we touch The honesty's too much
Bm E7 A A7
And I have to close my eyes and hide
D G A F#m
I wanna hold you til I die Til we both break down and cry
Em A D
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
