[Intro]

C C7 F/C Fm/C C

[Verse 1]

C F/C G/C C

You ask me if I love you and I choke on my reply

Em Am D G

I'd rather hurt you honestly than mislead you with a lie

Dm7 G7 C C/B Am C/G

And who I am to judge you on what you say or do?

F C/E Dm7 C/E G

I'm only just beginning to see the real you

[Chorus]

C F G Em

And sometimes when we touch the honesty's too much

Am D G F Em Dm

And I have to close my eyes and hide

C F G Em

I wanna hold you till I die till we both break down and cry

Dm7 F/G C C7 F/C Fm/C

I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

[Verse 2]

C F/C G/C C

Romance and all its strategy leaves me battling with my pride

Em Am D G

But through the insecurity some tenderness survives

Dm7 G7 C G/B Am C/G

I'm just another writer still trapped within my truths

F C/E Dm7 C/E G

A hesitant prize fighter still trapped within my youth

[Chorus]

C F G Em

And sometimes when we touch the honesty's too much

Am D G F Em Dm

And I have to close my eyes and hide

C F G Em

I wanna hold you till I die till we both break down and cry

Dm7 F/G C G/C F/C C

I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

[Bridge]

F/G Cmaj7

At times I'd like to break you and drive you to your knees

Am Em F F/G

At times I'd like to break through and hold you endlessly

[Verse 3]

C F/C G/C C

At times I understand you and I know how hard you've tried

Em Am D G

I've watched while love commands you and I've watched love pass you by

Dm7 G7 C G/B Am C/G

At times I think we're drifters still searching for a friend

F C/E Dm7 C/E G

A brother or a sister but then the passion flares again

[Chorus]

C F G Em

And sometimes when we touch the honesty's too much

Am D G F Em Dm

And I have to close my eyes and hide

C F G Em

I wanna hold you till I die till we both break down and cry

Dm7 F/G C G/C F/C C

I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
