I just saw VAST last week in concert, and they ROCKED!!!  I now officially love these guys,
so I set out to learn how to play my favorite song of theirs, Touched.  Here it is, let 
me know if you see anything wrong with it.

INTRO: (acoustic)
e|------------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------------|
G|------------------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------| play 4 times before he starts singing
A|-4--4-4--4--4-4-4-4-4-4--4--4-4--6--6-6-6-6-6-6-|
E|-2--2-2--5--5-5-5-5-5-5--4--4-4--7--7-7-7-7-7-7-|

then keep playing while he sings "touched... you say that I am too..."
play through the weird people singing in the background, also.
then come in with this when the piano starts playing:
POST-INTRO/POST-CHORUS RIFF:
e|------------------------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-9--9-9-9--9-9-9-9-9--6--6-6-6--4--4-4-4-4-4-4-4--2-2-2-2-2-|
D|-9--9-9-9--9-9-9-9-9--6--6-6-6--4--4-4-4-4-4-4-4--2-2-2-2-2-|
A|-7--7-7-7--7-7-7-7-7--4--4-4-4--2--2-2-2-2-2-2-2--0-0-0-0-0-|
E|------------------------------------------------------------|
i can't show the rhythm very well.. you'll get it if you listen to the song.

PRE-VERSE: use HEAVY DISTORTION!
e|-----------------------------|
B|-----------------------------|
G|-----------------------------|
D|-----------------------------| play this twice
A|-4-4-4-4-4-4---4-4-4-4-4-4-6-|
E|-2-2-2-2-2-5---5-4-4-4-4-4-7-|

after jon starts singing again, come back in with the intro riff.

play the pre-verse riff again while he sings "i'll never find someone..."

then keep playing the same riff, but eliminate the spaces.  keep playing the
chord when you change, don't stop in between.

then play the post-intro/post-chorus riff, with heavy distortion.

BRIDGE: clean acoustic.  figure out the rhythm
e|------------|
B|------------|
G|-9-----7----|
D|-9--6--7--7-|
A|-7--6--5--7-|
E|----4-----5-|
"i looked into your eyes and saw..."

play post-intro/post-chorus again once.
then play pre-verse again until end of song.


There it is.  Is that kind of confusing?  I don't know how else to explain it.  I think
if you listen to the song, you'll hear exactly what I mean with everything.  Enjoy!
