Outside the cafe by the cracker factory, you were practicing a magic
C trick.
Ab And
A my
Dm thoughts got rude
A as you talked
Ab and chewed
A on the last
G of your pick and
Am mix.
Said you must be thinking of your thinking as I haven't been cold before.

Have you
Am listened to your strawberry
C mix.
Ab Then I
Am took my attention in the form of a gob
E starter.
It's all
Am you had left and it was going to
E waste.

A Your
Am Ab pastimes
A consisted
Ab of the
Am strange, entwisted and
Ab deranged.
A And I loved that
Cm little game you
A had called
Am crying lightning.
And
Ab how you
A liked to
Ab aggravate the ice cream
A on a rainy
Am afternoon.

Am In fact, you knew

E C With soldered arms

E Am And though I tried
