intro D D/G D/A D Verse 1 D G/D A/D 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/C# Bm And who am I to judge you on what you say or do G D/F# E7 A I'm only just beginning to see the real you. Chorus D G/D A/D 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 G/D A/D D/F# 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 G/D A/D 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 A/C# Bm Im just another writer still trapped with in my truths G D/F# E7 A A hesitant prize fighter still trapped with in my youth. Chorus D G/D A/D 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 G/D A/D D/F# 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 G/D A/D 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 A/C# Bm At times I think were drifters, still searching for a friend G D/F# E7 A a brother or a sister, but then the passion flares again. Repeat Chorus. I hope you enjoy this wonderfully crafted song.
