[Verse 1]
B B/A# G#m
Here we are, quiet at your kitchen table
E E/D# C#m
With courtesy to little pet peeves
B B/A# G#m
Napkins on laps, the strands pulled back
E E/D# C#m
I hang the scarf and my mom's anorak
[Chorus 1]
F# B B/A# G#m
Why do I tell you how I feel
E E/D# C#m
When you're just lookin' down my blouse?
F# B B/A# G#m
It's something I wouldn't say out loud
E E/D# C#m
If touch could make them hear, then touch me now
E E/D# C#m
If touch could make them hear, then touch me now
B B/A# G#m
E E/D# C#m
[Verse 2]
B B/A# G#m
Talkin' to some who laugh and others scorned
E E/D# C#m
I guess humor could help me after all
B B/A# G#m
It's funny now, I'm just useless and a whore
E E/D# C#m
But I'll get a co-sign from your favorite one-man show
[Chorus 2]
F# B B/A# G#m
Why do I tell you how I feel
E E/D# C#m
When you're too busy lookin' down my blouse?
F# B B/A# G#m
It's something I wouldn't say out loud
E E/D# C#m
If touch could make them hear, then touch me now
E E/D# C#m
If touch could make them hear, then touch me now
E E/D# C#m
If touch could make them hear, then touch me now
F#
Nah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ow
[Outro]
B B/A# G#m
Mmm-mmm--mmm
E E/D# C#m
Mm-mm-mmm, mmm-mm-mmm mm-mmm
F# B B/A# G#m
Mmm, mm-mm mm-mmm-mm
E E/D# C#m B
Mm-mm-mmm, mmm-mm-mmm mm-mmm
