Key: C
Introduction:
C F G C
You ask me if I love you And I choke on my reply
Em Am D7 G
I' d rather hurt you honestly Than mislead you with a lie
Dm G C G/B Am G
And who I am to judge you On what you say or do?
F C D7 G G7
I' m only just beginning to see the real you
C F G Em
And sometimes when we touch The honesty' s too much
Am D7 G G7
And I have to close my eyes and hide
C F G Em
I wanna hold you til I die Til we both break down and cry
Dm G C
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
C F G C
Romance and all its strategy Leaves me battling with my pride
Em Am D7 G
But through the insecurity Some tenderness survives
Dm G C C/B Am G
I' m just another writer Still trapped within my truth
F C D7 G G7
A hesitant prize fighter Still trapped within my youth
C F G Em
And sometimes when we touch The honesty' s too much
Am D7 G G7
And I have to close my eyes and hide
C F G Em
I wanna hold you til I die Til we both break down and cry
Dm G C
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
G C
At times I' d like to break you And drive you to your knees
Am Em F G
At times I' d like to break through And hold you endlessly
C F G C
At times I understand you And I know how hard you' ve tried
Em Am D7 G
I' ve watched while love commands you And I' ve watched love pass you by
Dm G C G/B Am G
At times I think we' re drifters Still searching for a friend
F C D7 G G7
A brother or a sister But then the passion flares again
C F G Em
And sometimes when we touch The honesty' s too much
Am D7 G G7
And I have to close my eyes and hide
C F G Em
I wanna hold you til I die Til we both break down and cry
Dm G C
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
