Capo 3:
[C]You ask me if [F]I love you And [G]I choke on [C]my reply
I'd [Em]rather hurt you [Am]honestly Than [D]mislead you with a [G]lie
And [Dm]who I am to [G]judge you On [C]what you [C7]say or [Am]do?
I'm [F]only just [C]beginning to [D]see the real [G]you
Chorus:
And [C]sometimes when we [F]touch The [G]honesty's too [Em]much
And [Am]I have to close my [D]eyes and [G]hid
I [C]wanna hold you til I [F]die Til we [G]both break down and [Em]cry
I [Dm]wanna hold you till the [G]fear in me [C]subsides
Verse 2:
[C]Romance and all its [F]strategy [G]Leaves me battling with my [C]pride
But [Em]through the [Am]insecurity Some [D]tenderness [G]survives
I'm [Dm]just another [G]writer Still [C]trapped [C7]within my [Am]truth
A [F]hesitant prize [C]fighter Still [D]trapped within my [G]youth
Chorus
And [C]sometimes when we [F]touch The [G]honesty's too [Em]much
And [Am]I have to close my [D]eyes and [G]hid
I [C]wanna hold you til I [F]die Til we [G]both break down and [Em]cry
I [Dm]wanna hold you till the [G]fear in me [C]subsides
Brigde:
At [G]times I'd like to break you And drive you to your [C]knees
At [Am]times I'd like to break [Em]through And [F]hold you [G]endlessly
At [C]times I [F]understand you And I [G]know how hard you've [C]tried
I've [Em]watched while love [Am]commands you And I've [D]watched love pass you [G]by
At [Dm]times I think we're [G]drifters Still [C]searching [C7]for a [Am]friend
A [F]brother or a [C]sister But then the [D]passion flares [G]again
Chorus:
And [C]sometimes when we [F]touch The [G]honesty's [Em]too much
And [Am]I have to close my [D]eyes and [G]hid
I [C]wanna hold you til I [F]die Til we [G]both break down and [Em]cry
I [Dm]wanna hold you till the [G]fear in me [C]subsides
