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
