[Primera Parte]

   D           G/D             A/D          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        A/C#      Bm 
And who am I to judge you on what you say or do 
  G            D/F#         E7            A 
I'm only just beginning to see the real you

[Estribillo]
 
       D                   G/D        A/D            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                   G/D          A/D               D/F# 
I wanna 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
 
[Segunda Parte]

  D                 G/D              A/D             D 
Romance in all its strategy has me battling with my pride 
F#m             Bm              E           A 
But though the insecurity some tenderness survies 
   Em            A             D        A/C#      Bm 
Im just another writer still trapped with in my truths 
     G           D/F#               E7            A 
A hesitant prize fighter still trapped with in my youth

  D                   G/D        A/D            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                   G/D          A/D                D/F# 
I wanna hold you till I die till we both breakdown, and cry 
     Em                    A           D 
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides 
 
[Puente]
 
    D                   G/D            A/D             F#m 
At times Id like to hold you and drive you to your knees 
  Bm                 F#m                G         A 
At times Id like to break through, and hold you endlessly 
    D              G/D          A/D                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 Ive watched love pass you by 
     Em                A               D        A/C#     Bm 
At times I think were drifters, still searching for a friend 
    G            D/F#               E7             A 
A brother or a sister, but then the passion flares again
