Verse
C# F# G# C#
You ask me if I love you And I choke on my reply
Fm A#m D#7 G#
I'd rather hurt you honestly Than mislead you with a lie
D#m G# C# G#/C A#m G#
And who I am to judge you On what you say or do?
F# C# D#7 G# G#7
I'm only just beginning to see the real you
[Chorus]
C# F# G# Fm
And sometimes when we touch The honesty's too much
A#m D#7 G# G#7
And I have to close my eyes and hide
C# F# G# Fm
I wanna hold you til I die Til we both break down and cry
D#m G# C#
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
[Verse]
C# F# G# C#
Romance and all its strategy Leaves me battling with my pride
Fm A#m D#7 G#
But through the insecurity Some tenderness survives
D#m G# C# C#/C A#m G#
I'm just another writer Still trapped within my truth
F# C# D#7 G# G#7
A# hesitant prize fighter Still trapped within my youth
[Chorus]
C# F# G# Fm
And sometimes when we touch The honesty's too much
A#m D#7 G# G#7
And I have to close my eyes and hide
C# F# G# Fm
I wanna hold you til I die Til we both break down and cry
D#m G# C#
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
[Bridge]
G# C#
At times I'd like to break you And drive you to your knees
A#m Fm F# G#
At times I'd like to break through And hold you endlessly
[Verse]
C# F# G# C#
At times I understand you And I know how hard you've tried
Fm A#m D#7 G#
I've watched while love commands you And I've watched love pass you by
D#m G# C# G#/C A#m G#
At times I think we're drifters Still searching for a friend
F# C# D#7 G# G#7
A# brother or a sister But then the passion flares again
[Chorus]
C# F# G# Fm
And sometimes when we touch The honesty's too much
A#m D#7 G# G#7
And I have to close my eyes and hide
C# F# G# Fm
I wanna hold you til I die Til we both break down and cry
D#m G# C#
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
