[D] You ask me if [G] I love you and [A] I choke on [D] my reply
I'd [F#m] rather hurt you [Bm] honestly Than [E] mislead you with a [A] lie
And [Em] who I am to [A] judge you on [D] what you [D7] say or [Bm] do?
I'm [G] only just [D] beginning to [E] see the real [A] you
Chorus:
And [D] sometimes when we [G] touch The [A] honesty's too [F#m] much
And [Bm] I have to close my [E] eyes and [A] hid
I [D] wanna hold you til I [G] die til we [A] both break down and [F#m] cry
I [Em] wanna hold you till the [A] fear in me [D] subsides
Verse 2:
[D] Romance and all its [G] strategy [A] Leaves me battling with my [D] pride
But [F#m] through the [Bm] insecurity Some [E] tenderness [A] survives
I'm [Em] just another [A] writer Still [D] trapped [D7] within my [Bm] truth
A [G] hesitant prize [D] fighter Still [E] trapped within my [A] youth
Chorus
And [D]sometimes when we [G]touch The [A]honesty's too [F#m]much
And [Bm]I have to close my [E]eyes and [A]hid
I [D]wanna hold you til I [G]die Til we [A]both break down and [F#m]cry
I [Em]wanna hold you till the [A]fear in me [D]subsides
Brigde:
At [A] times I'd like to break you And drive you to your [D] knees
At [Bm] times I'd like to break [F#m] through And [G] hold you [A] endlessly
At [D] times I [G] understand you and I [A] know how hard you've [D] tried
I've [F#m] watched while love [Bm] commands you and I've [E] watched love pass you [A] by
At [Em] times I think we're [A] drifters still [D] searching [D7] for a [Bm] friend
A [G] brother or a [D] sister But then the [E] passion flares [A] again
Chorus:
And [D] sometimes when we [G] touch The [A] honesty's [F#m] too much
And [Bm] I have to close my [E] eyes and [A] hid
I [D] wanna hold you til I [G] die Til we [A] both break down and [F#m] cry
I [Em] wanna hold you till the [A] fear in me [D] subsides
