Verse
E A B E
You ask me if I love you And I choke on my reply
G#m C#m F#7 B
I'd rather hurt you honestly Than mislead you with a lie
F#m B E B/D# C#m B
And who I am to judge you On what you say or do?
A E F#7 B B7
I'm only just beginning to see the real you
[Chorus]
E A B G#m
And sometimes when we touch The honesty's too much
C#m F#7 B B7
And I have to close my eyes and hide
E A B G#m
I wanna hold you til I die Til we both break down and cry
F#m B E
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
[Verse]
E A B E
Romance and all its strategy Leaves me battling with my pride
G#m C#m F#7 B
But through the insecurity Some tenderness survives
F#m B E E/D# C#m B
I'm just another writer Still trapped within my truth
A E F#7 B B7
C# hesitant prize fighter Still trapped within my youth
[Chorus]
E A B G#m
And sometimes when we touch The honesty's too much
C#m F#7 B B7
And I have to close my eyes and hide
E A B G#m
I wanna hold you til I die Til we both break down and cry
F#m B E
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
[Bridge]
B E
At times I'd like to break you And drive you to your knees
C#m G#m A B
At times I'd like to break through And hold you endlessly
[Verse]
E A B E
At times I understand you And I know how hard you've tried
G#m C#m F#7 B
I've watched while love commands you And I've watched love pass you by
F#m B E B/D# C#m B
At times I think we're drifters Still searching for a friend
A E F#7 B B7
C# brother or a sister But then the passion flares again
[Chorus]
E A B G#m
And sometimes when we touch The honesty's too much
C#m F#7 B B7
And I have to close my eyes and hide
E A B G#m
I wanna hold you til I die Til we both break down and cry
F#m B E
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
