D                       G                      A                    D 
You ask me if I  love you, and I  choke on my  reply. 
     F#m                Bm                E                            A             
I'd rather hurt you honestly than mislead you with a lie. 
        Em             A                    D            A        Bm  
And who am I to judge you on what you say or do.  
      G                D             Em       D     A 
I'm only just beginning to see the real  you. 
 
 
         D                               G              A                   F#m 
And sometimes when we touch, the honesty's too much. 
         Bm                       E             A        G       F#m     Em 
And I have to close my eyes and hide. 
             D                  G             A                                F#m 
I wanna hold you till I die, till we both break down and cry. 
             Em                   G              D 
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides. 
 
 
           G                                                                         D 
Sometimes I'd like to break you, and drag you to your knees. 
           Bm                 F#m                     G                       A 
Sometimes I'd like to breakthrough and hold you endlessly. 
        D                               G 
And sometimes when we touch---etc 
D                               G                             A                       D 
Romance and all it's strategy, leaves me battling with my pride. 
       F#m                 Bm               E                A             
But through the insecurity some tenderness survives. 
     Em              A             D          A              Bm 
I'm just another writer still trapped within my truths. 
    G                  D             Em       D               A 
A hesitant prizefighter still trapped within my youth. 
        D                               G   etc to the end  
And sometimes when we touch
