E                            C#m 
Lately when I go to steal a kiss 
   E                 B 
I feel you pulling away 
   E                 A 
I know something is amiss 
            E              B 
But what it is, you won't say 
    A 
If I've done something to upset ya 
   E                           A 
Believe me, that was never my plan 
     E                         A 
But how can I fix it standing out here in the cold? 
                 E 
I'm a sensitive man. 

     E                    C#m 
You don't always have to speak 
         E             B 
You can say it with a look 
 E                      A 
Even across a crowded room 
       E              B 
I can read it like a book 
      A 
But other times, when there's something on your mind 
 E                       A 
Make it as plain as you can 
        E                     A 
Don't freeze me baby, I'm no dinky-doo 
                 E 
I'm a sensitive man. 

                    A  F#m 
I'm a sensitive man 
         E               A 
You can hear that in my song 
        E           A  F#m 
I'm a sensitive man 
     F#m                                E 
But first impressions could steer you wrong. 

E A E B (2x) 

    A 
Sincerely, my one desire 

Is to make you happy again 
       E                    A 
But I can't begin 'til you let me back in 
                 E 
I'm a sensitive man. 

                    A F#m 
I'm a sensitive man 
         E               A 
You can hear that in my song 
       E            A F#m 
I'm a sensitive man 
        F#m                                    E 
Though first impressions might well steer you wrong. 

 E 
Sensitive man 

(Out in the cold) 

Trying to do good 

(But so misunderstood)
