Am                         G6
I'd like to find out what places she's been
Em                        F   G
What's behind her locked door
Am                          G6
Oh better yet, know if I'm out or I'm in
        Em7                      F        G
If the renovator still runs the top floor
Am                 G6
Perhaps she would say
Em                    F   G
She was a student of hope
Am                G6
And I'm dangling from the end
Em7                  F
Of a disintegrating rope
Em7                   F
But I don't wish to spark off
Em7               F
Of outraged imagination
Em                  F
I don't wish to get into
     Em7                F    G
Any double edged conversation

Chorus:
       Am         G6
It's a touchy situation
     Em            F
Woah-oh-Woah-oh-oh, yes
       Am         G6
It's a touchy situation
     Em            F     F G
Woah-oh-Woah-oh-oh, yeah

Someday I'll find out
What I'm now afraid to ask
And I'll discover what lies there
Beneath the doormats
Perhaps she would say
That I'm just deathly afraid
To see her make the same
Mistake that I made
And it might lead to
Some sweet revelation
She knows I hate
Eating this conversation

Chorus

C
I said, "Are you doing well baby?"
G
She says, "Go ask your father."
Am
I said, "Give me yes, no, or maybe."
F
She says, "Why should I bother?"
Em7    F
I said, she says
Am          F
I said, ohhooh
Em              F
I'll ask you tomorrow
Em7             F     G
I'll ask you tomorrow

If I could only break
the code of her fears, I could
Expose the secrets to the river of her tears
Rattle her senses 'til
she's blowin' for a kiss, oh, hey
Before she'd exercise
Those powers of manipulation

Chorus:
It's a touchy situation
It's a touchy situation
It's a touchy situation
Woah-oh-oh
It's a touchy situation
Woah-oh-oh

It's a touchy situation
It's a touchy situation
It's a touchy situation
It's a touchy situation
