Honest Man Chords by Ben Platt

[Intro]
F C F C G Am F C

[Verse 1]
        F                          C
There's something about you in the moonlight
         Am         G             Csus4
But your eyes go so well with the day
F                        C     C/B
You won't let go of your layers
         Am        G        Csus4
But your power can strip me away


[Pre-Chorus]
     Am7
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
       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?
                 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        Csus4
So you build your walls up today
F                             C    C/B
You won't believe that you're ready
    Am        G        Csus4
But I'd never lead you astray


[Pre-Chorus]
     Am7
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                          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?
                 G                                F
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]
  Am
I know I played with hearts before
      Em
Don't have a heart to play with yours
  E                           F   G
I only swear to do the best I can
 Am
'Cause when you put your trust in me
    E
How beautiful our love could be
   F              G      C/F
If only you would take a chance


[Chorus]
        F      C
I am an honest man
G             Am           C
Why won't you take my hand?
    G             G                                F
I'm not what you planned but, I'm a safe place to land
        F      C
I am an honest man
        F      C
I am an honest man
G             Am
Why won't you hold my hand?
                 G                                F
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

[Outro]
             G               Am
I said all I can, I am who I am
            F      C
And I am an honest man
