Intro: Gm F Gm G
Gm C G G
 
Gm F Gm GOutside the cafe by the cracker factory
Gm C G GYou were practicing a magic trick
Gm F Gm GAnd my thoughts got rude, as you talked and chewed
Gm C G GOn the last of your pick and mix
 
Gm FSaid you’re mistaken if you're thinking that I haven't been caught
Gm Gcold before
Gm C G GAs you bit into your strawberry lace
Gm F Gm GAnd then a flip in your attention in the form of a gobstopper
Gm C G GIs all you had left and it was going to waste
 
Gm F GmYour past-times, consisted of the strange
GAnd twisted and deranged
Gm C G GAnd I love that little game you had called crying lightning
Gm F Gm GAnd how you like to aggravate
Gm C G Gthe ice-cream man on rainy afternoons
 
Gm (Strum Once)
 
Gm FThe next time that I caught my own reflection
Gm GIt was on it's way to meet you
Gm C G GThinking of excuses to postpone
Gm FYou never look like yourself from the side
Gm GBut your profile could not hide
Gm C G GThe fact you knew I was approaching your throne
 
Gm F GmWith folded arms you occupied the bench like toothache
G Gm C G GStood and puffed your chest out like you never lost a war
Gm F Gm GAnd though I tried so not to suffer the indignity of a reaction
Gm C G GThere was no cracks to grasp or gaps to claw
 
F CmAnd your past-times, consisted of the strange
GmAnd twisted and deranged
Gm FAnd I hate that little game you had called
CmCrying lightning
Gm FAnd how you like to aggravate the icky man on rainy afternoons
CmUninviting
GmBut not half as impossible as everyone assumes
F CmYou are crying lightning
 
Gm
 
Gm CmOh you were reading a book about some idiot
F GAnd telling me about another
 
Gm CmI was so severely underwhelmed
F GI thought I might never recover
 
GmStraighten the rudder girl
CmAnd sail me up stairs
FAnd Go and find somebody
GWho cares
 
Gm CmWell we might not be the perfect partners
F GBut tonight we make a pair
 
Gm GmYour past-times, consisted of the strange
GmAnd twisted and deranged
Gm FAnd I hate that little game you had called
 
Cm GmCrying lightning
Gm FCrying lightning
Cm GmCrying lightning
GmCrying lightning
 
F CmYour past-times, consisted of the strange
GmAnd twisted and deranged
Gm FAnd I hate that little game you had called
CmCryi---ng
