Sometimes When We Touch

1. You ask me if I love you and I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly than mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you on what you say or do
I'm only just beginning to see the real you
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much and [Bm]I have to [C7]close my [A]eyes and [Bm]hide
I wanna hold you [A7till I die
Till we both break down and [Bm]cry
I want to [C7]hold you [A7till the fear in me subsides.

Romance and [Bm]all [Em]its stɾategy leaves me battling with my [A]pride
But through the insecurity some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer, still tɾapped within my [A]tɾuths
A hesitant prize fighter still tɾapped within my [A]youth.

[Chorus:]
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much and [Bm]I have to [C7]close my [A]eyes and [Bm]hide
I wanna hold you [A7till I die
till we both break down and [Bm]cry
I want to [C7]hold you [A7till the fear in me subsides.

2. At times I'd like [F]to [C7]break you [A7and [Bm]drive you [A7to [C7]your knees
At times I'd like [F]to [C7]break through and [Bm]hold you [A7endlessly
At times I understand [Bm]you [A7and [Bm]I know how hard you've tɾied
I've watch while love commands you
and [Bm]I've watched love pass you [A7by
At times I think we're drifters, still searching for [Dm7]a friend
A brother or a sister, but then the passion [C7]flares again.
