Rod Stewart – Sometimes When We Touch tab

intro  D D/G D/A D


Verse 1
         D           D/G             D/A          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               BM
And who am I to judge you on what you say or do
  G            F#/D         E        F#   A
I'm only just beginning to see the real you.

Chorus
       D                   D/G        A             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                   D/G           A                F#/A
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.

Verse2
       D                 D/G              D/A             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                BM
  Im just another writer still trapped with in my truths
       G           F#/D               E  F#         A
  A hesitant prize fighter still trapped with in my youth.

Chorus
       D                D/G           A           F#M
    And sometimes when we touch the honestys too much
      BM      E                       A
    and I have to close my eyes, and hide
        D                   D/G          A              F#A
    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

Bridge
        A                   A            A             D
    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              D/G          D/A                D
    at times I understand you, and I know how hard you try
        F#M             BM                      E                     A
    Ive watched while love commands you and Ive watched love pass you by
         EM                A               D               BM
    At times I think were drifters, still searching for a friend
        G            F#D               E        F#     A
    a brother or a sister, but then the passion flares again.

    Repeat chorus.
