AmFAmEAmGCE
AmFAmE Outside the cafe by the cracker factory
AmGCE You were practicing a magic trick
AmFAmE And my thoughts got rude, as you talked and chewed
AmGCE On the last of your pick and mix
AmF Said you-re mistaken if you're thinking that I haven't been caught
AmE cold before
AmGCE As you bit into your strawberry lace
AmFAmE And then a flip in your attention in the form of a gobstopper
AmGCE Is all you had left and it was going to waste
Am Your past-times, consisted of the strange
 And I love that little game you had called
Am Crying lightning
Am (Strum Once) 
AmF The next time that I caught my own reflection
AmE It was on it's way to meet you
AmGCE Thinking of excuses to postpone
AmF You never look like yourself from the side
AmE But your profile could not hide
AmGCE The fact you knew I was approaching your throne
AmFAm With folded arms you occupied the bench like toothache
EAmGCE Stood and puffed your chest out like you never lost a war
AmFAmE And though I tried so not to suffer the indignity of a reaction
AmGCE There was no cracks to grasp or gaps to claw
FDm And your past-times, consisted of the strange
Am And twisted and deranged
AmF And I hate that little game you had called
Dm Crying lightning
AmF And how you like to aggravate the icky man on rainy afternoons
Dm Uninviting
Am But not half as impossible as everyone assumes
FDm You are crying lightning
Am
AmDm Oh you were reading a book about some idiot
FE And telling me about another
AmDm I was so severely underwhelmed
FE 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
AmDm Well we might not be the perfect partners
FE But tonight we make a pair
AmAm Your past-times, consisted of the strange
Am And twisted and deranged
AmF And I hate that little game you had called
DmAm Crying lightning
AmF Crying lightning
DmAm Crying lightning
Am Crying lightning
FDm Your past-times, consisted of the strange
Am And twisted and deranged
AmF And I hate that little game you had called
Dm
