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
