With no one to share, with no one who truly cares for, for meeeee

Can anyone tell me why the bm in the first verse sounds so wrong. I've watched him play it live and it does look like a bm but its just not right. Is anyone else finding this ? Other than that, it's a great tab!

great work!

Can someone write down the intro? (lick) https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/james_bay/if_i_aint_got_you_chords_2625999
