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