Introduction: D D/G D/A D
D G/D A/D D
You ask me if I love you, and I choke on my reply.
F#m Bm E A
I'd rather hurt you honestly, than mislead you with a lie
Em A D A/C# Bm
And who am I to judge you on what you say or do
G D/F# E7 A
I'm only just beginning to see the real you.
Chorus
D G/D A/D F#m
And sometimes when we touch. The honesty's too much
Bm E A
And I have to close my eyes, and hide.
D G/D A/D D/F#
I wanna hold you till I die, till we both break down, and cry.
Em A D
I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides.
Verse2
D G/D A/D D
Romance in all its strategy has me battling with my pride
F#m Bm E A
But though the insecurity some tenderness survies
Em A D A/C# Bm
Im just another writer still trapped with in my truths
G D/F# E7 A
A hesitant prize fighter still trapped with in my youth.
Chorus
D G/D A/D F#m
And sometimes when we touch the honesty's too much
Bm E A
and I have to close my eyes, and hide
D G/D A/D D/F#
I wanna hold you till I die till we both breakdown, and cry
Em A D
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
Bridge
A D
At times Id like to hold you and drive you to your knees
Bm F#m G A
at times Id like to break through, and hold you endlessly
D G/D A/D D
at times I understand you, and I know how hard you try
F#m Bm E A
Ive watched while love commands you and Ive watched love pass you by
Em A D A/C# Bm
At times I think were drifters, still searching for a friend
G D/F# E7 A
a brother or a sister, but then the passion flares again.
Repeat Chorus.
