[Verse 1]
B F#
There's something about you in the moonlight

But your eyes go so well with the day

You won't let go of your layers
D#m C# B
But your power can strip me away
[Pre-Chorus]
D#m
It's easier for us to hide
C#
If you come out, then so will I
F# B
Promise that I'll meet you halfway
D#m
'Cause I see every part of you
C#
And I can tell you see me, too
F# A#7
By the way that you say my name
[Chorus]
B F#
I am an honest man
C# D#m
Why can't you take my hand?
F# C# B
I'm not what you planned but, I'm a safe place to land
B F#
I am an honest man

You're so afraid of tomorrow

So you build your walls up today

You won't believe that you're ready

But I'd never lead you astray
[Pre-Chorus]

It's easier for us to hide
C#
If you come out, then so will I

By the way that you say my name

You make me an honest man
[Bridge]

I know I played with hearts before

Don't have a heart to play with yours

I only swear to do the best I can
