Words and Music by Barry Mann and Dan Hill
C F
You ask me if I love you
G C
And I choke on my reply
Em Am
I'd rather hurt you honestly
D G
Than mislead you with a lie
Dm7 G
And who am I to judge you
C Am Am7
On what you say or do?
F C Dm7 G G7
I'm only just beginning to see the real you
C F
And sometimes when we touch
G Em
The honesty's too much
Am D G F Em
And I have to close my eyes and hide
Dm G C F
I wanna hold you til I die
G Em
Til we both break down and cry
Dm7 G C C7 F Em
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
C F
Romance and all its strategy
G C
Leaves me battling with my pride
Em Am
But through the insecurity
D G
Some tenderness survives
Dm7 C
I'm just another writer
Dm7 G
Still trapped within my truth
F C
A hesitant prize fighter
Dm7 G G7
Still trapped within my youth
C F
And sometimes when we touch
G Em
The honesty's too much
Am D G F Em
And I have to close my eyes and hide
Dm G C F
I wanna hold you til I die
G Em
Til we both break down and cry
Dm7 G C C7 F Em
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
G
At times I'd like to break you
C
And drive you to your knees
Am Em
At times I'd like to break through
F C G7
And hold you endlessly
G
At times I understand you
C
And I know how hard you've tried
Am Em
I've watched while love commands you
F C G7
And I've watched love pass you by
G
At times I think we're drifters
C
Still searching for a friend
Am Em
A brother or a sister
F C G7
But then the passion flares again
C F
And sometimes when we touch
G Em
The honesty's too much
Am D G F Em
And I have to close my eyes and hide
Dm G C F
I wanna hold you til I die
G Em
Til we both break down and cry
Dm7 G C C7 F Fm
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
