[Verse 1]
          D
Well, I'm not too
superstitious,
          A
but I knock on wood a lot
        Em7
Prayin' I wake up tomorrow,
          G
 get the guts to tell you off
       D
But I know I'll never
get there,
            A
you could scream you
wish me dead
               Em7
But I'll crawl back to
                       G
 you tomorrow; why the hell
 can't I get mad?

[Refrain]
    D                  A
Someday, won't this be funny?
                      Em7
Well, I want it funny now
            G
Man, I wanna laugh so loud
    D
Someday, won't this
    A
be long ago?
                  Em7
I wanna feel that now
[Chorus]
           G
Sorry if I can't see
           D
how I'm screwed
                      A
But hey, what can you do?
                   Em7
I'm a touchy feely fool
              Bm
I would give anything to
     A                 D
 not give a shit about you
               A
Life is pretty cruel
                   Em7
For a touchy feely fool
              Bm
I would give anything to
      A                  D
not give a shit, but I do

[Verse 2]
          D
Well, I'm not too
claustrophobic,
       A
but I lose my breath
sometimes
      Em7
Now I can't even
 talk to ya;
           G
now your lawyers
 talk to mine
          D
Could you teach me
 to be ruthless?
         A
 Could I be unfeeling too?
       Em7
Maybe someday when
I'm older,
          G
I'll be better off like you

[Bridge]
                 D
I'm better off a stick;
 I'm better off a stone
                  A
I'm better off a jerk;
I'm better off alone
               Em7
I'm better not feeling
stress or feeling bliss
             G
I won't feel much;
at least I won't be
feelin' this

[Chorus]
     D
I'm screwed
                      A
But hey, what can you do?
                   Em7
I'm a touchy feely fool
              Bm
I would give anything to
