There's something about you in the moonlight

If you come out, then so will I

Promise that I'll meet you halfway
G#m
'Cause I see every part of you
F#
And I can tell you see me, too
B D#7
By the way that you say my name
[Chorus]

I am an honest man

Why can't you take my hand?

I'm not what you planned but, I'm a safe place to land
E B
I am an honest man

I know I played with hearts before
