Verse 1
 G           C              Dsus2           G
You ask me if I love you And I choke on my reply
    Bm                 Em           A               Dsus2
I'd rather hurt you honestly Than mislead you with a lie
    Am          Dsus4         G       G/F#   Em       
And who I am to judge you On what you say or do?
    C                G      Am     Am/B Dsus4    
I'm only just beginning to see the real you

Chorus:
      G                  C       Dsus2         Bm
And sometimes when we touch The honesty's too much
    Em                  Am Am/B Am/C  Dsus4    
And I have to close my eyes and       hide
     G                  C          Dsus2               Bm
I wanna hold you til I die Til we both break down and cry
    Am                     Dsus4         G            
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

Verse 2:
    G                   C        Dsus2                    G
Romance and all its strategy Leaves me battling with my pride
      Bm            Em            A             Dsus4
But through the insecurity  Some tenderness survives
     Am            Dsus2        G         G/F#   Em       
I'm just another writer Still trapped within my truth
    C             G             Am        Am/B    Dsus4
A hesitant prize fighter Still trapped within my youth

Chorus 
      G                  C        Dsus2        Bm
And sometimes when we touch The honesty's too much
    Em                  Am Am/B Am/C  Dsus4    
And I have to close my eyes and        hide
     G                  C          Dsus2               Bm
I wanna hold you til I die Til we both break down and cry
    Am                     Dsus4         G            
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
            
  
Brigde:
    Dsus4                                               G
At times I'd like to break you  And drive you to your knees
    Em                       Bm         C           Dsus2   
At times I'd like to break through And hold you endlessly
      G             C             Dsus4                 G
At times I understand you  And I know how hard you've tried
      Bm                    Em                  A                   Dsus4
I've watched while love commands you And I've watched love pass you by
     Am                   Dsus2           G      G/F#   Em
At times I think we're drifters Still searching for a friend
     C          G                    Am     Am/B     Dsus2
A brother or a sister But then the passion flares again

Chorus:  
     G                  C        Dsus2         Bm
And sometimes when we touch The honesty's too much
    Em                  Am Am/B Am/C  Dsus4   
And I have to close my eyes and        hide
     G                  C          Dsus2               Bm
I wanna hold you til I die Til we both break down and cry
    Am                     Dsus4         G            
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
