Hi, I added a simple strumming only for the rhythm

[Verse]

G C

You ask me if I love you

And I choke on my reply

I'd rather hurt you honestly

A A7 D

Than mislead you with a lie

And who am I to judge you

On what you say or do

C G/B Am G/B D

I'm only just beginning to see the real you

G F# E D C B A G

(play the riff)

[Chorus]

G C

And sometimes when we touch

D Bm

The honesty's too much

Em Am G/B C D C G/B Am

And I have to close my eyes and hide

G C

I wanna hold you till I die

D Bm

Till we both break down and cry

C D6 D Dsus4 D G C/G C Cm

I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

[Verse]

G C

Romance and all its strategy

D G

Leaves me battling with my pride

Bm7 Em

But through the insecurity

A A7 D

Some tenderness survives

Am D

I'm just another writer

G D/F# Em

Still trapped within my truth

C G/B

A hesitant prizefighter

Am G/B D

Still trapped within my youth

G F# E D C B A G

(play the riff)

[Chorus]

And sometimes when we touch

I wanna hold you till I die

D Bm

Till we both break down and cry

C D6 D Dsus4 D G

I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

[Bridge]

Am7

At times I'd like to break you

Am7 G

And drive you to your knees

Em Bm

At times I'd like to break through

C Am7 D

And hold you endlessly

[Verse]

G C

At times I understand you

D G

And I know how hard you've tried

Bm7 Em

I've watched while love commands you

A A7 D

And I've watched love pass you by

Am D

At times I think we're drifters

G D/F# Em

Still searching for a friend

C G/B

A brother or a sister

Am G/B D

But then the passion flares again

G F# E D C B A G

(play the riff)

[Outro]

G C

And sometimes when we touch

D Bm

The honesty's too much

Em Am G/B C D C G/B Am

And I have to close my eyes and hide

G C

I wanna hold you till I die

D Bm

Till we both break down and cry

C D6 D Dsus4 D G

I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
