intro [D] [D/G] [D/A] [D]
Verse 1
[D] [D/G] [D/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] [BM]
And who am I to judge you on what you say or do
[G] [F#]/[D] [E] [F#] [A]
I'm only just beginning to see the real you.
Chorus
[D] [D/G] [A] [F#M]
And sometimes when we touch. The honesty's too much
[BM] [E] [A]
And I have to close my eyes, and hide.
[D] [D/G] [A] [F#]/[A]
I wanna hold you till I die, till we both break down, and cry.
[EM] [A] [D]
I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides.
Verse2
[D] [D/G] [D/A] [D]
Romance in all its strategy has me battling with my pride
[F#M] [BM] [E] [A]
But though the insecurity some tenderness survies
[EM] [A] [D] [BM]
Im just another writer still trapped with in my truths
[G] [F#]/[D] [E] [F#] [A]
A hesitant prize fighter still trapped with in my youth.
Chorus
[D] [D/G] [A] [F#M]
And sometimes when we touch the honestys too much
[BM] [E] [A]
and I have to close my eyes, and hide
[D] [D/G] [A] F#A
I wanna hold you till I die till we both breakdown, and cry
[EM] [A] [D]
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
Bridge
[A] [A] [A] [D]
At times Id like to hold you and drive you to your knees
[BM] [F#M] [G] [A]
at times Id like to break through, and hold you endlessly
[D] [D/G] [D/A] [D]
at times I understand you, and I know how hard you try
[F#M] [BM] [E] [A]
Ive watched while love commands you and Ive watched love pass you by
[EM] [A] [D] [BM]
At times I think were drifters, still searching for a friend
[G] F#D [E] [F#] [A]
a brother or a sister, but then the passion flares again.
Repeat chorus.
