C               F                G            C               
 You ask me if  I love you and  I choke on  my reply

    Em                 Am               D                    G          
I'd  rather hurt you  honestly Than  mislead you with a  lie

    Dm             G              C          C7        Am          
And  who I am to  judge you on  what you  say or  do?

    F           C              D              G          
I'm  only just  beginning to  see the real  you

      


             
Chorus:

    C                   F           G               Em           
And  sometimes when we  touch The  honesty's too  much

    Am                    D          G          
And  I have to close my  eyes and  hid

  C                      F            G                     Em          
I  wanna hold you til I  die til we  both break down and  cry

  Dm                         G            C               
I  wanna hold you till the  fear in me  subsides

 Romance and all its  strategy  Leaves me battling with my  pride

    Em             Am                 D            G               
But  through the  insecurity Some  tenderness  survives

I'm  just another  writer Still  trapped  within my  truth

  F                C               D                   G            
A  hesitant prize  fighter Still  trapped within my  youth

    Am                   D         G         
And I have to close my eyes and hid

  C                     F           G                    Em         
I wanna hold you til I die Til we both break down and cry

I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

At  times I'd like to break you And drive you to your  knees

I've  watched while love  commands you and I've  watched love pass you  by

   Dm                     G                C           C7       Am             
At  times I think we're  drifters still  searching  for a  friend

A  brother or a  sister But then the  passion flares  again

And  I have to close my  eyes and  hid

I  wanna hold you till the  fear in me  subsides
