Sometimes When We Touch Tab

by Rod Stewart


intro     


Verse 1
                                           
     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.

Chorus
                                               
     And sometimes when we touch. The honesty's too much
                               
And I have to close my eyes, and hide.
                                                   /
I wanna hold you till I die, till we both break down, and cry.
                                      
I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides.

Verse2
                                                   
     Romance in all its strategy has me battling with my pride
                                        
  But though the insecurity some tenderness survies
                                              
  Im just another writer still trapped with in my truths
                  /                          
  A hesitant prize fighter still trapped with in my youth.

Chorus
                                             
    And sometimes when we touch the honestys too much
                                   
    and I have to close my eyes, and hide
                                                   F#A
    I wanna hold you till I die till we both breakdown, and cry
                                        
    I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

Bridge
                                                    
    At times Id like to hold you and drive you to your knees
                                                
   at times Id like to break through, and hold you endlessly
                                                
    at times I understand you, and I know how hard you try
                                                                
    Ive watched while love commands you and Ive watched love pass you by
                                                       
    At times I think were drifters, still searching for a friend
                    F#D                            
    a brother or a sister, but then the passion flares again.

    Repeat chorus.
