C#dim      Cdim           Bdim
Yesterday, I couldn't wait
                     A            C#dim
I thought today was gonna be great
             Cdim          Bdim
Now it's here, I'm a mess
                     A           C#dim
I fell in love with you I confess
            Cdim         Bdim
Out of phase, out of sync
I'm so confused I can only think in

Chorus:
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

Chorus:
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
A figure of eight
Aah.....

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

Chorus:
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
A figure of eight

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
