Sometimes When We Touch

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

/ D G A D / F#m Bm E A / Em A D Bm / G D Em A /

{Refrain}
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you 'til I die
'Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

/ D G / A F#m / Bm E AG F#mA7 / 1st, 2nd / Em A7 D D7 G Gm /

Romance and all its strategy leaves me battling with my pride
But through the insecurity some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prize fighter still trapped within my youth

{Refrain}

At times I'd like to break you and drive you to your knees
At times I'd like to break through and hold you endlessly

/ A7 - D - / Bm F#m G A7 /

At times I understand you and I see how hard you've tried
I've watched while love commands you and I've watched love pass you by
At times I think we're drifters still searching for a friend
A brother or a sister but then the passion flares again

{Refrain}
