Verse 1  
         D           D/G             D/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               Bm  
And who am I to judge you on what you say or do?  
  G            F#/D         E        F#   A  
I'm only just beginning to see the real you.  

  
       D                   D/G        A             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                   D/G           A                F#/A  
I want to 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                 D/G              D/A             D  
     Romance in all its strategy has me battling with my pride  
  F#m             Bm              E           A  
  But though the insecurity some tenderness survives. 
     Em            A             D                Bm  
  I'm just another writer still trapped with in my truth,  
       G           F#/D               E  F#         A  
  A hesitant prizefighter still trapped with in my youth.  

Chorus  
        
Bridge: 
        A                   A            A             D  
    At times I'd like to hold you and drive you to your knees,  
      Bm                 F#m                G         A  
   At times I'd like to break through and hold you endlessly.  
        D              D/G          D/A                D  
    At times I understand you, and I know how hard you try.  
        F#m             Bm                      E                     A  
    I've watched while love commands you and I've watched love pass you by. 
         Em                A               D               Bm  
    At times I think were drifters, still searching for a friend.  
        G            F#       D               E        F#     A  
    a brother or a sister, but then the passion flares again.  

    Repeat Chorus.
