There's something about you in the moonlight

It's easier for us to hide

If you come out, then so will I
E A
Promise that I'll meet you halfway
C#m
'Cause I see every part of you
B
And I can tell you see me, too
E G#7
By the way that you say my name
[Chorus]
A E
I am an honest man

Why can't you take my hand?
E B A
I'm not what you planned but, I'm a safe place to land
A E
I am an honest man

So you build your walls up today

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

It's easier for us to hide

I know I played with hearts before
