[E]
[F#m] [F#] [C#m] [E]
[A] [C#] [B] [E] You ask me if I [A] love you and [B] I choke on my [E] reply
I'd [G#m] rather hurt you [C#m] honestly
Than [F#] mislead you with [B] a lie
And [F#m] who am I [B] to judge you?
[E] And what [B] you say [C#m] or do?
[E] [A] I'm only just [E] beginning
[F#m] To see [E] the real you
[B] And [E] sometimes when [A] we touch
[B] The honesty's [G#m] too much
And [C#m] I have to close [F#] my eyes [B] And hide
[A] [E] I [B] [E] wanna hold you till I [A] die
Till we [B] both break down and [E] cry
[G#m] I [F#m] wanna hold you till [A] the fear in me [E] subsides
[A] [A] [F#] [E] Romance and all [A] its strategy
Leaves [B] me battling with [E] my pride
But [G#m] through all the [C#m] insecurity
[F#] Some tenderness [B] survives
[B] [F#m] I'm just an old
[B]
[E] Still trapped [D#m] within my [C#m] truth
[E] [A] A hesitant [E] prize fighter
Still [F#m] trapped [E] within [B] my youth
[E] And sometimes when we [A] touch
[B] The honesty's [G#m] too much
And [C#m] I have to close [F#] my eyes [F#] And [B] hide
[A] I [F#m] [B] [E] wanna hold you till I [A] die
Till we [B] both break down [G#m] and cry
I [F#m] wanna hold you till the [A] fear in me [E] [E] subsides
At [E] times I'd like to break you
[F#m] And drive you to your [E] knees
[C#m] At times I'd like to [G#m] break through
[A] And hold you endlessly
[F#m] At [A] [E] times I [A] understand you
And [B] I know how hard you [E] try
I've [G#m] watched my love [C#m] command you
And I've [F#] watched love pass [B] you by
[C#] [E] [B] [F#m] At times I think [B] we're drifters
Still [E] searching [D#] for a [C#m] friend
[E] A [A] brother or [E] a sister
But then [A] the passion [E] flares [B] again
[E] Sometimes when we [A] touch
[B] The honesty's too [G#m] much
And I [C#m] have to close my [F#] eyes And [B] hide
[A] I [F#m] [B] wanna [E] hold you till I [A] die
Till we [B] both break down and [G#m] cry
I wanna [F#m] hold you till the [A] fear in me [E] subsides
[A] [Am] [E]
