Sometimes when We Touch

Written by Barrett M Imberman, Daniel Grafton Hill

	  		    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.
