Intro: Am F Am E
       Am G C E

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

                                 Am             F
Said you’re mistaken if youʼre thinking that I havenʼt been caught
Am         E
cold before
       Am              G          C  E
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    E
Is all you had left and it was going to waste

 Am          F            Am
Your past-times, consisted of the strange
      E
And twisted and deranged
             Am         G      C         E
And I love that little game you had called crying lightning
         Am          F    Am  E
And how you like to aggravate
        Am           G        C E
the ice-cream man on rainy afternoons

Am

                      Am               F
The next time that I caught my own reflection
       Am              E
It was on itʼs way to meet you
Am             G        C    E
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    E
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 E
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    E
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
