Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 :577655 / x0222x
 Nick uses the |076450| E chord almost the whole way through, shifting his pinky back and
 forth between the 5th and 6th string to alternate between E and B as the bass note. The
 chord also has the advantage of being in close proximity to the Cm and A chords.
 After the first and third line of the chorus, Nick plays three strokes of A followed by
 one stroke of Fm. Use your index finger to barre the second fret and, on the fourth
 stroke, place your ring finger and pinky on the fourth fret of the 4th and 5th string
 while using your thumb to play the Fbass note.
Lately  when I go to steal a kiss
 I feel  you pulling away
 I know  something is amiss
 But what it is,  you won't say
 If I've  done something to upset ya
 Believe  me, that was never my plan
 But how  can I fix it standing out  here in the cold?
 I'm a sensitive man.
 You don't  always have to speak
 You can say  it with a look
 Even  across a crowded room
 I can read  it like a book
 But other  times, when there's something on your mind
 Make  it as plain as you can
 Don't freeze  me baby, I'm no dinky-doo
 I'm a sensitive man.
 I'm a sensitive man
 You can hear  that in my song
 I'm a sensitive  man
 But first  impressions could steer you wrong.
 x2
 Sincerely,  my one desire
 Is to make you happy again
 But I can't  begin 'til you let  me back in
 I'm a sensitive man.
 I'm a sensitive man
 You can hear  that in my song
 I'm a sensitive  man
 Though first  impressions might well steer you wrong.
 Sensitive  man
 (Out in the cold)
 Trying to do good
 (But so misunderstood)
 Sensitive man
