Am    F    Am    E 
Am    G    C    G# 


 Am          F            Am          E 
Outside the cafe by the cracker factory 
            Am         G      C      G# 
You were practicing a magic trick 
         Am          F            Am          E 
And my thoughts got rude, as you talked and chewed 
        Am           G        C     G# 
On the last of your pick and mix 

                                 Am             F 
Said you?re mistaken if you're thinking that I haven't been caught 
Am           E 
cold before 
       Am              G          C     G# 
As you bit into your strawberry lace 
                           Am             F         Am           E 
And then a flip in your attention in the form of a gobstopper 
                Am              G         C      G#        
Is all you had left and it was going to waste 
Am Your past-times, consisted of the strange And twisted and deranged And I love that little game you had called Crying lightning And how you like to aggravate the ice-cream man on rainy afternoons
Am (Strum Once) Am F The next time that I caught my own reflection Am E It was on it's way to meet you Am G C G# Thinking of excuses to postpone Am F You never look like yourself from the side Am E But your profile could not hide Am G C G# The fact you knew I was approaching your throne Am F Am With folded arms you occupied the bench like toothache E Am G C G# Stood and puffed your chest out like you never lost a war Am F Am E And though I tried so not to suffer the indignity of a reaction Am G C G# There was no cracks to grasp or gaps to claw
F Dm And your past-times, consisted of the strange Am And twisted and deranged Am F And I hate that little game you had called Dm Crying lightning Am F And how you like to aggravate the icky man on rainy afternoons Dm Uninviting Am But not half as impossible as everyone assumes F Dm You are crying lightning
Am Am Dm Oh you were reading a book about some idiot F E And telling me about another Am Dm I was so severely underwhelmed F E I thought I might never recover Am Straighten the rudder girl Dm And sail me up stairs F And go and find somebody E Who cares Am Dm Well we might not be the perfect partners F E But tonight we make a pair
Am Am Your past-times, consisted of the strange Am And twisted and deranged Am F And I hate that little game you had called
Dm Am Crying lightning Am F Crying lightning Dm Am Crying lightning Am Crying lightning F Dm Your past-times, consisted of the strange Am And twisted and deranged Am F And I hate that little game you had called Dm Cryi--------ng
