Verse
G C D G
You ask me if I love you And I choke on my reply
Bm Em A7 D
I'd rather hurt you honestly Than mislead you with a lie
Am D G D/F# Em D
And who I am to judge you On what you say or do?
C G A7 D D7
I'm only just beginning to see the real you
[Chorus]
G C D Bm
And sometimes when we touch The honesty's too much
Em A7 D D7
And I have to close my eyes and hide
G C D Bm
I wanna hold you til I die Til we both break down and cry
Am 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
Bm Em A7 D
But through the insecurity Some tenderness survives
Am D G G/F# Em D
I'm just another writer Still trapped within my truth
C G A7 D D7
E hesitant prize fighter Still trapped within my youth
[Chorus]
G C D Bm
And sometimes when we touch The honesty's too much
Em A7 D D7
And I have to close my eyes and hide
G C D Bm
I wanna hold you til I die Til we both break down and cry
Am 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
Em Bm 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
Bm Em A7 D
I've watched while love commands you And I've watched love pass you by
Am D G D/F# Em D
At times I think we're drifters Still searching for a friend
C G A7 D D7
E brother or a sister But then the passion flares again
[Chorus]
G C D Bm
And sometimes when we touch The honesty's too much
Em A7 D D7
And I have to close my eyes and hide
G C D Bm
I wanna hold you til I die Til we both break down and cry
Am D G
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
