[Verse 1]
E                B
Every night gets worse
     C#m                   A
It's harder to control the urge
E                   B
My blood pressure's up
                   C#m        A
And my judgement's on the way out

[Pre-Chorus]
          E             B     C#m  A
If you're asking me for closure
     E                  B
Just know what'll happen if
       C#m   A
I come over

[Chorus]
(A)    E                   B
It's a symptom of your touch
C#m                 A
Symptom of your touch
             E     B
If it feels so good
                    C#m   A
Why does it hurt so much?

[Post-Chorus]
E         B
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
C#m       A
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
E         B
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
C#m       A
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ah

[Verse 2]
E               B
Way too many mistakes
         C#m                   A
You're familiar so it makes it easy
E               B
Where did we go wrong?
            C#m              A
Who am I to say that I don't need you?

[Pre-Chorus]
          E             B     C#m A
If you're asking me for closure
        E                B
Don't expect it to happen when
             C#m    A
I lose my composure

[Chorus]
(A)    E                  B
It's a symptom of your touch
C#m                A
Symptom of your touch
             E     B
If it feels so good
                    C#m   A
Why does it hurt so much?

[Post-Chorus]
E         B
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
C#m       A
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
E         B
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
C#m       A
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ah

How to play Symptom Of Your Touch: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Symptom Of Your Touch by Aly & AJ on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Symptom Of Your Touch by Aly & AJ sits in E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯), and you need 4 chords to play it: E, B, C#m and A.

Listen for E – B – C#m – A (I – V – vi – IV in E major), the “four-chord” progression behind countless pop, rock and worship songs: the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – soh – lah – fah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes D, A, Bm, G (75% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 50% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
