Capo 3    
Verse 1:
 C5           F5              G5            C5
You ask me if I love you And I choke on my reply
    E5                 A5           D5                 G5
I'd rather hurt you honestly Than mislead you with a lie
    D5          G5             C5        C5    A5       
And who I am to judge you On what you say or do?
    F5                C5      D5           G5
I'm only just beginning to see the real you

Chorus:
      C5                  F5        G5          E5
And sometimes when we touch The honesty's too much
    A5                  D5        G5    
And I have to close my eyes and hid
     C5                  F5          G5                   E5
I wanna hold you til I die Til we both break down and cry
    D5                     G5              C5            
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

Verse 2:
    C5                   F5        G5                       C5
Romance and all its strategy Leaves me battling with my pride
      E5            A5            D5              G5
But through the insecurity  Some tenderness survives
     D5            G5           C5         C5       A5       
I'm just another writer Still trapped within my truth
    F5             C5             D5                 G5
A hesitant prize fighter Still trapped within my youth

Chorus 
      C5                  F5        G5          E5
And sometimes when we touch The honesty's too much
    A5                  D5        G5    
And I have to close my eyes and hid
     C5                  F5          G5                   E5
I wanna hold you til I die Til we both break down and cry
    D5                     G5              C5            
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
            
  
Brigde:
     G5                                                  C5
At times I'd like to break you  And drive you to your knees
    A5                       E5         F5            G5   
At times I'd like to break through And hold you endlessly
      C5             F5             G5                     C5
At times I understand you  And I know how hard you've tried
      E5                    A5                  D5                   G5
I've watched while love commands you And I've watched love pass you by
     D5                    G5             C5      C5     A5
At times I think we're drifters Still searching for a friend
     F5          C5                    D5             G5
A brother or a sister But then the passion flares again

Chorus:  
     C5                  F5        G5          E5
And sometimes when we touch The honesty's too much
    A5                  D5        G5    
And I have to close my eyes and hid
     C5                  F5          G5                   E5
I wanna hold you til I die Til we both break down and cry
    D5                     G5              C5            
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
