Verse 1
G C Dsus2 G
You ask me if I love you And I choke on my reply
Bm Em A Dsus2
I'd rather hurt you honestly Than mislead you with a lie
Am Dsus4 G G/F# Em
And who I am to judge you On what you say or do?
C G Am Am/B Dsus4
I'm only just beginning to see the real you
Chorus:
G C Dsus2 Bm
And sometimes when we touch The honesty's too much
Em Am Am/B Am/C Dsus4
And I have to close my eyes and hide
G C Dsus2 Bm
I wanna hold you til I die Til we both break down and cry
Am Dsus4 G
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
Verse 2:
G C Dsus2 G
Romance and all its strategy Leaves me battling with my pride
Bm Em A Dsus4
But through the insecurity Some tenderness survives
Am Dsus2 G G/F# Em
I'm just another writer Still trapped within my truth
C G Am Am/B Dsus4
A hesitant prize fighter Still trapped within my youth
Chorus
G C Dsus2 Bm
And sometimes when we touch The honesty's too much
Em Am Am/B Am/C Dsus4
And I have to close my eyes and hide
G C Dsus2 Bm
I wanna hold you til I die Til we both break down and cry
Am Dsus4 G
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
Brigde:
Dsus4 G
At times I'd like to break you And drive you to your knees
Em Bm C Dsus2
At times I'd like to break through And hold you endlessly
G C Dsus4 G
At times I understand you And I know how hard you've tried
Bm Em A Dsus4
I've watched while love commands you And I've watched love pass you by
Am Dsus2 G G/F# Em
At times I think we're drifters Still searching for a friend
C G Am Am/B Dsus2
A brother or a sister But then the passion flares again
Chorus:
G C Dsus2 Bm
And sometimes when we touch The honesty's too much
Em Am Am/B Am/C Dsus4
And I have to close my eyes and hide
G C Dsus2 Bm
I wanna hold you til I die Til we both break down and cry
Am Dsus4 G
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
C Dsus4 G
