[Intro]
Em Dmaj7


[Verse 1]
Em
 They say your body
knows when it's
                Dmaj7
really something
When we're touching
 toes that's
                 Em
the warmth of loving
And he flows and
 flows like a
             Dmaj7
F#7
  He's over
         Bm7
more and more
Had to give him a
       E7
whole drawer
To be honest
 kinda
A7
like seeing
his trainers
       F#7
by my door
Though I could
            Bm7
do it myself
It's kinda nice
             E7
to have some help
Lately I been
thinking,
E7
 thinking what
the hell

[Verse 2]
F#7
  It’s so
              Bm7
obvious to say
I’m allergic
        E7
to cliché
I mean what’s
 three words that
A
wе’ve all heard
 but damn
they do sound
 F#7
great
When they’re
 coming
        Bm7
out his mouth
And I think I
          E7
like them now
And I’m
understanding
E7
what they’re all
 about


[Chorus]
      Em7   A7
And I feel love,
 like
    Em7  A7
the real stuff
You don't
 Dmaj7
know and
 then
you know, that's
 how
 it goes
       Em7  A7
And I feel love,
 like
    Em7  A7
the real stuff
You don't
 Dmaj7
know and
 thеn you
 know, that's
how
 it goes

[Outro]
Em7     A7
 I don’t mind
        Em7
I quite like
      A7
being yours
         D
It’s fine
D
Call me up
D
Call me twice
D
Call me every
 night
Em7     A7
I don’t mind
        Em7
I quite like
      A7
being yours
     D
It’s fine
D
Call me up
D
Call me twice
D
Call me every
 time

How to play Touching Toes: key, chords and progression

Touching Toes by Olivia Dean is written in D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯) and moves through 9 chords: Em, Dmaj7, F#7, Bm7, E7, A7, Em7, A and D.

The progression the song keeps returning to is A7 – Em7 – A7 – Dmaj7 (V7 – ii7 – V7 – Imaj7 in D major). In solfa, that is soh – reh – soh – doh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.
