Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Oh man, I call you my man[Dm]
You play your [Em]own home movies
on my [F]screen
And our [C]love line is [Am]there
like a [Em]silver shaft of [F]light
That [Dm]fills the dark [G]between
[C]Oh, man, I call you my [Dm]man
All your [Em]easy confessions are [F]lies
And it's [C]only when you're [Am]safe
[Em]inside the songs you sing
[F]Do you tak[Dm]e off your disgui[G]se
Oh, [F]my frightened lov[G]er, let's be [Am]friends
At [F]least for [G]this one night
[C]Let[Em]'s be two[F] gentle cre[G]atures,
[Am]soft and small and light
If I [Dm]hold you, you'll be safe tonight
[G]If I [F]hold you, [G]you'll be safe tonight
[C]Oh man, I call you my man[Dm]
The out[Em]er edge of trouble
makes you [F]tall
For the [C]steeper are [Am]the cliffs
[Em]that you try to climb
[F]It's less lik[Dm]ely you are to fal[G]l
Oh [C]man, I call [Dm]you my man
There's only [Em]one kind of battle
makes you flee
[F]It's whe[C]n you fall ope[Am]n
and [Em]start pouring [F]out
You [Dm]try and hide from [G]me
Oh, [F]my frightened lov[G]er, let's be [Am]friends
At [F]least for [G]this one [C]night
[Em]Let's be [F]two gentle [G]creatures,
[Am]soft and small and light
I will [D]hold [Dm]you if you'll be safe tonight
[G]If I [F]hold you, [G]you'll be safe tonight
[C]Oh, ple[Am]ase be sti[F]ll,
[Am]please don't [F]doubt
[Am]Please, I [F]will [Dm]be fair
[C]I tru[Am]st in me,[F] I tru[Am]st yourself,
[F]I tru[Am]st your pow[F]er just to be [Dm]ther[G]e
[C]Oh man, oh you're [Dm]my man,
you're at this [Em]dangerous
new place [F]in time
And still [C]you cannot [Am]find
the cour[Em]age left to say
[F]That cry[Dm]ing's nobody's cri[G]me
[C]Oh man, I call you my [Dm]man
Now it [Em]must feel so very [F]strange
To [C]have to throw away
[Am]all the [Em]lines that you have learned
[F]And for[Dm]ce yourself to cha[G]nge
[F]I'm a frightened lov[G]er, let's be [Am]friends
At [F]least for [G]this one [C]night
[Em]Let's be t[F]wo gentle creatures
[G]Sof[Am]t and small at night
And I will hold [Dm]you,
and you'll be safe tonight
[G]I will h[F]old you and y[G]ou'll be safe tonight
