Open: C/G (4x's)
C/G Dm
Oh Man, I call you my man
Em F
You play your own home movies on my screen
C Am Em F
And our love line is there like a silver shaft of light
Dm G
That fills the dark between
C/G Dm
Oh Man, I call you my man
Em F
All your easy confessions are lies
C Am Em F
And it's only when you're safe inside the songs you sing
Dm G
Do you take off your disguise
F G Am
Aw my frightened lover let's be friends
F G C
At least for this one night
F G Am
Let's be two gentle creatures, soft and small and light
D Dm G
If I hold you, you'll be safe tonight
F G C
If I hold you, you'll be safe tonight
C/G Dm
Oh Man, I call you my man
Em F
The outer edge of trouble makes you talk
C Am Em F
For the steeper are the cliffs that you try to climb
Dm G
The less likely you are to fall
C/G Dm
Oh Man, I call you my man
Em F
There's only one kind of battle makes you flee
C Am Em F
It's when you fall open and start pouring out
Dm G
You try and hide from me
F G Am
Aw my frightened lover let's be friends
F G C
At least for this one night
F G Am
Let's be two gentle creatures, soft and small and light
D Dm G
If I hold you, you'll be safe tonight
F G C
If I hold you, you'll be safe tonight
Am G F Am G F
Aw please be still, please don't doubt
Am G F C/G
Aw please, I will be fair
Am G F Am G F
Aw trust in me, Aw trust yourself
Am G F Dm G
Aw trust your power just to be there
C/G Dm
Oh Man, I call you my man
Em F
You're at this dangerous new place in time
C Am Em F
And still you cannot find the courage left to say
Dm G
That crying's nobody's crime
C/G Dm
Oh Man, I call you my man
Em F
Now it must feel so very strange
C Am Em F
To have to throw away all the lines that you have learned
Dm G
And force yourself to change
F G Am
Aw my frightened lover let's be friends
F G C
At least for this one night
F G Am
Let's be two gentle creatures, soft and small and light
D Dm G
If I hold you, you'll be safe tonight
F G C
If I hold you, you'll be safe tonight
