Introdução: G G/F G/E
G C D2 G
You ask me if I love you and I choke on my reply.
Bm Em A D2
I'd rather hurt you honestly than mislead you with a lie.
Am D4 G G/F# Em
And who I am to judge you or what you say or do?
C G Am Am/B D4
I'm only just beginning to see the real you.
G C D2 Bm
And sometimes when we touch the honesty's too much
Em Am Am/B Am/C D4
And I have to close my eyes and hide.
G C D2 Bm
I want to hold you til I die, till we both break down and cry.
Am D4 G
I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides.
G C D2 G
Romance and all its strategy leaves me battling with my pride,
Bm Em A D4
But through the insecurity some tenderness survives,
Am D2 G G/F# Em
I'm just another writer still trapped within my truth,
C G Am Am/B D4
A hesitant prize fighter still trapped within my youth.
G C D2 Bm
And sometimes when we touch the honesty's too much
Em Am Am/B Am/C D4
And I have to close my eyes and hide.
G C D2 Bm
I want to hold you till I die, till we both break down and cry.
Am D4 G
I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides.
D4 G
At times I'd like to break you and drive you to your knees,
Em Bm C D2
At times I'd like to break through and hold you endlessly.
G C D4 G
At times I understand you and I know how hard you've tried,
Bm Em A D4
I've watched while love commands you and I've watched love pass you by.
Am D2 G G/F# Em
At times I think we're drifters atill searching for a friend,
C G Am Am/B D2
A brother or a sister, but then the passion flares again.
G C D2 Bm
And sometimes when we touch the honesty's too much
Em Am Am/B Am/C D4
And I have to close my eyes and hide.
G C D2 Bm
I want to hold you till I die, till we both break down and cry.
Am D4 G
I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides.
