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