Sometimes When We Touch
(Dan Hill & Barry Mann)

Intro : D  G  D

D                      G
You ask me if I love you
           A                 D
And I choke on my reply
      F#m                Bm
I'd rather hurt you honestly
               Em                 A7
Than mislead you with a lie
       Em               A7
And who am I to judge you
      D           F#m    Bm  D
On what you say or do
      G               D
I'm only just beginning
      Em           A7
To see the real you

         D                           G
And sometimes when we touch
       A7                F#m
The honesty's too much
           Bm                    E           A7
And I have to close my eyes and hide
              D                 G
I wanna hold you 'til I die
            A7                            F#m
'Til we both break down and cry
             Em                    A7                D      D  G  D
I wanna hold you 'til the fear in me subsides

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

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 'til the fear in me subsides

     Em                   A7
At times I'd like to break you
                                   D
And drive you to your knees
     Bm                   F#m    
At times I'd like to break through
        G                      A7
And hold you endlessly

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 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 'til the fear in me subsides
