[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
