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