Verse originally in Bb, I play in G if I want to work, otherwise
C capo 3.
If you’re capo’d, be ready to find those 9’s. And on guitar, just play
a 7 instead of the #9.
Intro, the first chord is really just fading in,
and the progression really starts at the second chord.
| F# | B/D# | Bm/D | C#m7 | F#7 |
Vox on the 5 of the first chord, just up a step on “love”
| G | D/F# | A | E/A |
| Maybe I’m am | azed at the way you l | ove me all the t | ime |
| G | D/F# | A |
| And maybe I’m afr | aid of the way I lo | ve you |
This time vox on the 6 of the chord on “pulled”
| G | D/F# | A | E/A |
| Maybe I’m ama | zed at the way you pu | lled me out of t | ime |
| G | D/F# | |
| You h | ung me on a l | ine |
Vox *stay* on the 6 of the chord on “maybe” (A if the chord is D)
| F | C/E | A | |
| And m | aybe I’m amazed at the w | ay I really n | eed you |
| B | Bmaj7 |
| Maybe I’m a | man |
| B9 | |
| Maybe I’m a l | onely man who’s in the middle of something |
| E | B | B(#9) |
| That he doesn’t really underst | and |
| B | Bmaj7 |
| Maybe I’m a | man |
| B9 | |
| And maybe you’re the | only woman who could ever help me |
I skip the “ooh’s” at the end of this line
| E | B/D# | Bm/D | C#m7 | F#7 |
| Baby won’t you help me to underst | and |
Solo on verse chords, acoustic I usually skip this and the following chorus.
Can also do it on doo doo, etc.

| G | D/F# | A | |
| G | D/F# | A | E/A |

| B | Bmaj7 |

| E | B/D# | Bm/D | C#m7 | F#7 |

| G | D/F# | A |
| Maybe I’m a | fraid of the way I | need you |
| G | D/F# | A | E/A |
| Maybe I’m a | mazed at the way you | help me sing my | song |
| G | D/F# | |
| You | right me when I’m | wrong |
| F | C/E | A | |
| And | maybe I’m amazed at the | way I really n | eed you |
If I skipped the previous chorus, I’ll do this one with lyrics, else do this on “yeah”
| B | Bmaj7 |
| Maybe I’m a | man |
| B9 | |
| Maybe I’m a l | onely man who’s in the middle of something |
