          D#          Cm
Walking in Figures of 8
D#             Cm
I hope I'm not too late
G#         A#7
Figure 8 clouds
G#                 A#7
I'm working things out
D#              Cm
Clouds looking strange
D#        Cm                          G#
Papercut fingers dancing on the strings
                         A#7
If I could see you right now
G#                 A#7                          D#
I'd dance just for you when the nightlight goes out
                        Cm
Would you dance for me too?
D#               Cm
I'm counting on you
G#                A#7                G#
The corner shop closes in under an hour
                  A#7                         D#
Lets buy too much booze and get drunk in the shower

Chorus:
Cm           G         G#         A#
Thinking in figures of 8 and it's easy 'cause
   D#               Cm
I know what it adds up to
D#                Cm                     G#
Every day is the same but you gave me a brand
           Cm
new set of numbers
G#                     A#
Life's in a different colour

Thinkin' in figures of eight and it's easy 'cause
I know what it adds up to
Every day is the same but you gave me
a brand new set of numbers
Life's in a different colour

Chorus:
Would you dance for me too?
We'll make Peppa Pig plasters the coolest new trend
I never asked for my childhood to end

I'm trapped in my tiny human brain and it's
killing me
But I'm fine, yeah I'm alright
If I move my hands fast enough I won't die
I'm trapped in my tiny human brain and it's
killing me
But I'm fine, yeah I'm alright
If I move my hands fast enough I won't die
If I move my hands fast enough I won't die
