Gmaj7/B 
 
Asus 
You can call me “honey”  
Em7 
if you wantbecause I’m the one you  
D 
want. 
 
 
Gmaj7/B 
mm mm  
Asus 
 
When  
D 
anyone called  
Gmaj7/B 
me 
 
“sweetheart”
 
it was  
Asus 
passive-aggres
Em7 
sive at the park
 
and the  
D 
chick was tellin’ me  
Gmaj7/B 
to back off
 
cuz her  
Asus 
man had looked at me wrong.
 
If  
D 
anyone called  
Gmaj7/B 
me 
 
“honey”
 
it was  
Asus 
standing in the bath
Em7 
room, white teeth,
 
they were  
D 
saying that skirt  
Gmaj7/B 
don’t fit me
 
and I  
Asus 
cried the whole way home.
 
But  
F#m 
you touched my  
Em 
face,
 
redefined all of those  
F#m 
blues
 
when you  
G/A 
say 
 
“honey.”
 
D 
    Summer
Gmaj7/B 
time spritz, pink skies –
 
Asus 
you can call me “honey”  
Em7 
if you want because I’m the one you  
D 
want.
 
Winter
Gmaj7/B 
green kiss, all mine –
 
you  
Asus 
give it different meaning cuz you mean it when you  
D 
talk.
 
Honey I’m home,  
Gmaj7/B 
we could play house,
 
we can calm  
Asus 
down, pick me up,
 
Em7 
who’s the baddest in the land? What’s the  
D 
plan? 
 
(
Gmaj7/B 
what’s the plan?)
 
You could  
Asus 
be my forever best friend, honey.
 
When  
D 
anyone called  
Gmaj7/B 
me 
 
“sweetheart”
 
it was  
Asus 
passive-aggres
Em7 
sive at the park
 
and the  
D 
chick was tellin’ me  
Gmaj7/B 
to back off
 
cuz her  
Asus 
man had looked at me wrong.
 
If  
D 
anyone called  
Gmaj7/B

“honey”
 
it was

room, white teeth,
 
they were  
D 
saying that skirt  
Gmaj7/B 
don’t fit me
 
and I  
Asus 
cried the whole way home.
 
But  
F#m 
you touched my  
Em 
face,
 
redefined all of those  
F#m 
blues
 
when you  
G/A 
say…
 
D 
 
Gmaj7/B 
 
Asus 
You can call me “honey”  
Em7 
if you want because I’m the one you  
D 
want.
 
(
Gmaj7/B 
I’m the one you want)
 
You  
Asus 
give it different meaning
Em7 
cuz you mean it when you  
D 
talk.
 
Sweetie it’s yours,  
Gmaj7/B 
kickin’ in doors,
 
take it to the f
Asus 
loor, give me more.
 
Em7 
Buy the paint in the color of your  
D 
eyes(
Gmaj7/B 
of your eyes)
 
and gra
Asus 
ffiti my en
Em7 
tire life, honey.
 
When  
D 
anyone called me  
Gmaj7/B 
late 
 
night
 
he was  
Asus 
messin’ around with  
Em7 
my 
 
mind
 
askin’, “
D 
what are you doin’
Gmaj7/B 
?”, too tired,
 
to re
Asus 
member in the mor
Em7 
nin’.
 
And when  
D 
anyone called me “
Gmaj7/B

they were  
Asus 
finding ways not to  
Em7 
praise 
 
me,
 
but you  
D 
say it like you’re in  
Gmaj7/B 
awe of me
 
and you  
Asus 
stay until the mor
Em7

When  
D 
anyone called  
Gmaj7/B 
me 
 
“sweetheart”
 
it was  
Asus 
passive-aggres
Em7 
sive at the park
 
and the  
D 
chick was tellin’ me  
Gmaj7/B 
to back off
 
cuz her  
Asus 
man had looked at me wrong.(he looked at me wrong)
 
If  
D 
anyone called  
Gmaj7/B 
me “honey” (ooh)
 
it was  
Asus 
standing in the bath
Em7 
room (yeh), white teeth,
 
they were

Gmaj7/B

and I  
Asus

(cried the whole way home)

But you can call me “honey” if you want…
