Sometimes when we touch

  D                      G                      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

   G                       A                   D                     Bm

And who am I to judge you in what you say or do

  G                    D             Em       F#m           A

I'm only just beginning to see the real you

            D                                 G                 A                   F#m

     And sometimes when we touch, the honesty's too much

             Bm                         E           A         G, F#m, Em
     and I have to close my eyes and hide

            D                             G                 A                           F#m

     I want to hold you till I die, till we both break down and cry

                        Em                      G                    D

     I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides

    D                               G                      A                             D

Romance and all it's strategy, leaves me battling with my pride

 F#m                        Bm                 E                          A

But through all the insecurity, some tenderness survives

   Em                       A                   D                     Bm
I'm just another writer, still trapped within my truth

   G                    D             Em              F#m                   A
A hesitant prize fighter, still trapped within my youth

            D                                 G                 A                   F#m

     And sometimes when we touch, the honesty's too much

             Bm                         E           A         G, F#m, Em
     and I have to close my eyes and hide

            D                             G                 A                           F#m

     I want to hold you till I die, till we both break down and cry

                        Em                      G                    D

     I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides

  A                                       A           A                             D

At times I'd like to break 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                               G          A                                D

At times I understand you, and I know how hard you try

  F#m                                        Bm             E                                    A

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

  Em                            A              D                             Bm

At times I think we're drifters, still searching for a friend

  G                     D                       Em            F#m        A

a brother or a sister, but then the passion flares again

            D                                 G                 A                   F#m

     And sometimes when we touch, the honesty's too much

             Bm                         E           A         G, F#m, Em
     and I have to close my eyes and hide

            D                             G                 A                           F#m

     I want to hold you till I die, till we both break down and cry

                        Em                      G                    D

     I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides
