Capo 2
TIN MAN
INTRO
G
(G) You can't be like me
But be (Am) happy that you can't
I see (Am) pain but I don't feel it I am (C) like the old tin (G) man
I'm as (G) worn as a stone
I keep it (Am) steady as I can
I see (Am) pain but I don't feel it I am (C) like the old tin (G) man
(Am) I miss it
(C) I miss it
(G) Oh, I miss that (D) feeling of (C) feeling
I (G) used to fill the sky around with (Am) happiness and joy
I had (Am) news to give the wind to keep my (C) sails and heart (G) employed
I felt (G) people move around me
I felt (Am) loneliness and shame
Back then (Am) every day was different now each (C) moment is the (G) same
(Am) I miss it
(C) I miss it
(G) Oh, I miss that (D) feeling of (C) feeling (X2)
The (D) feeling of (C)feeling
The (G) wind upon my face
And (Em) caring what it brings this (Am) way
The (D) feeling of (C) feeling
The (G) minutes pass away
And (Em) caring what I do with (Am) them
(Bm) Maybe bring me love or something (C) else
Fill:  C   B   C   D   E   D   E   F#  G  
(G) And so it goes a man grows cold
Some would (Am) say a man grows strong
They say (Am) life only grows short
I say the (C) road only grows (G) long
But as (G) long as there's a road
My feet will (Am) never touch the ground
And if (Am) you won't give my heart back I've no (C) need to stick (G) around
(Am) I miss it
(C) I miss it
(G) Oh, I miss that (D) feeling of (C) feeling (X2)
The (D) feeling of (C) feeling
The (D) feeling of (C) feeling
