Verse 1:
        F                          C
There's something about you in the moonlight
         Am         G             F
But your eyes go so well with the day
F                        C     C/B
You won't let go of your layers
         Am        G         F
But your power can strip me away
 
Pre-Chorus:
     Am
It's easier for us to hide
   G
If you come out, then so will I
C                                F
  Promise that I'll meet you halfway
       Am
'Cause I see every part of you
    G
And I can tell you see me, too
C                            E7
  By the way that you say my name

        F      C
I am an honest man

Why can't you take my hand?
    C            G                                F
I'm not what you planned but, I'm a safe place to land
        F         C
I am an honest man
 
Verse 2:
F                     C
You're so afraid of tomorrow
   Am             G          F
So you build your walls up today
F                             C    C/B
You won't believe that you're ready
    Am             G       F
But I'd never lead you astray

     Am
It's easier for us to hide

  Promise that I'll meet you halfway

'Cause I see every part of you
    G
And I can tell you see me, too
C                            E7
  By the way that you say my name

I'm not what you planned but, I'm a safe place to land
        F      C
I am an honest man
            G                  F
See me as I am, show me that I can
               F         C
You make me an honest man
 
Bridge:
  F
I know I played with hearts before
      G
Don't have a heart to play with yours
  E7                          Am   G
I only swear to do the best I can
       F
'Cause when you put your trust in me
    E7
How beautiful our love could be
   Am             G      F
If only you would take a chance

  Why won't you take my hand?
    C            G                                F
I'm not what you planned but, I'm a safe place to land

Why won't you hold my hand?

I'm not what you planned, I'm a safe place to land
        F         C
I am an honest man
            G                  F
See me as I am, show me that I can
               F         C
You make me an honest man

And I am an honest man
