C#o Co Bo
Yesterday, I couldn't wait
A C#o
I thought today was gonna be great
Co Bo
Now it's here, I'm a mess
A C#o
I fell in love with you I confess
Co Bo
Out of phase, out of sync
I'm so confused I can only think in
A
Figure of eight
Figure of eight
round and round
and never straight
to the point
I'm trying to make
C D
my minds only working in a figure of eight

Feel my shoes touch the ground
From where I look they're upside down
Cheerful soles, happy feet
Not a clue they're 'bout to meet
A figure of eight
A figure of eight
Round and round
Never straight
To the point
I'm trying to make
My mind's only working in a figure of eight

Yesterday, I couldn't wait
I thought today was gonna be great
Set my sails, cruise along
What could possibly go wrong?
A figure of eight
