F C
There’s something about you in the moonlight

You won’t let go of your layers
Am G Csus4
But your power can strip me away

Am7
It’s easier for us to hide

If you come out, then so will I
C F
Promise that I’ll meet you halfway
Am7
‘Cause I see every part of you
G
And I can tell you see me, too
C E
By the way that you say my name
[Chorus]
F C
I am an honest man
G Am
Why can’t you take my hand?

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 Csus4

If you come out, then so will I

‘Cause I see every part of you

And I can tell you see me, too

By the way that you say my name
