[C] You ask me if [F] I love you and [G] I choke on [C] my reply
I'd [Em] rather hurt you [Am] honestly Than [D] mislead you with a [G] lie
And [Dm] who I am to [G] judge you on [C] what you [C7] say or [Am] do?
I'm [F] only just [C] beginning to [D] see the real [G] you
Chorus:
And [C] sometimes when we [F] touch The [G] honesty's too [Em] much
And [Am] I have to close my [D] eyes and [G] hid
I [C] wanna hold you til I [F] die til we [G] both break down and [Em] cry
I [Dm] wanna hold you till the [G] fear in me [C] subsides
Verse 2:
[C] Romance and all its [F] strategy [G] Leaves me battling with my [C] pride
But [Em] through the [Am] insecurity Some [D] tenderness [G] survives
I'm [Dm] just another [G] writer Still [C] trapped [C7] within my [Am] truth
A [F] hesitant prize [C] fighter Still [D] trapped within my [G] youth
Chorus
And [C]sometimes when we [F]touch The [G]honesty's too [Em]much
And [Am]I have to close my [D]eyes and [G]hid
I [C]wanna hold you til I [F]die Til we [G]both break down and [Em]cry
I [Dm]wanna hold you till the [G]fear in me [C]subsides
Brigde:
At [G] times I'd like to break you And drive you to your [C] knees
At [Am] times I'd like to break [Em] through And [F] hold you [G] endlessly
At [C] times I [F] understand you and I [G] know how hard you've [C] tried
I've [Em] watched while love [Am] commands you and I've [D] watched love pass you [G] by
At [Dm] times I think we're [G] drifters still [C] searching [C7] for a [Am] friend
A [F] brother or a [C] sister But then the [D] passion flares [G] again
Chorus:
And [C] sometimes when we [F] touch The [G] honesty's [Em] too much
And [Am] I have to close my [D] eyes and [G] hid
I [C] wanna hold you til I [F] die Til we [G] both break down and [Em] cry
I [Dm] wanna hold you till the [G] fear in me [C] subsides
