intro D D/G D/A D
 Verse 1 
DD/GD/AD You ask me if I love you, and I choke on my reply.
F#MBMEA I'd rather hurt you honestly, than mislead you with a lie
EMADBM And who am I to judge you on what you say or do
GF#/DEF#A I'm only just beginning to see the real you.
 Chorus 
DD/GAF#M And sometimes when we touch. The honesty's too much
BMEA And I have to close my eyes, and hide.
DD/GAF#/A I wanna hold you till I die, till we both break down, and cry.
EMAD I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides.
 Verse2 
DD/GD/AD Romance in all its strategy has me battling with my pride
F#MBMEA But though the insecurity some tenderness survies
EMADBM Im just another writer still trapped with in my truths
GF#/DEF#A A hesitant prize fighter still trapped with in my youth.
 Chorus 
DD/GAF#M And sometimes when we touch the honestys too much
BMEA and I have to close my eyes, and hide
DD/GA F#A I wanna hold you till I die till we both breakdown, and cry
EMAD I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
 Bridge
