[Am] [F] [Am] [E]
[Am] [G] [C] [E]
[Am] Outside the cafe by the cracker factory [E] [Am] You were practicing [G] a magic [C] trick
[E]
[Am] And my thoughts got [F] rude [Am] as you talked and [E] [Am] chewed
On the last [G] of your pick [C] and mix [E]
Said you're [Am] mistaken if you're thinking
That I haven't been caught cold before [E] [Am] As you bit into your strawberry [E] lace
And then [Am] I found me a retention in [F] the [Am] form of a gobstopper
[E] It's [Am] all you had left [C] and it was going to [E] waste
[Am] Your pastimes consisted of the strange, the twisted and deranged
And I loved that little game you had called crying lightning
And how you liked to aggravate the ice cream man on rainy afternoons
The next time that I caught [F] my own reflection It was on its way [E] to meet [Am] you
Thinking [G] of excuses to [C] postpone You never [Am] looked like yourself [F] from the side
[Am] But your profile could not [E] hide The [A] fact you knew I [G] was approaching your [C] [E] throne
With [Am] folded arms you [F] undied the [Am] bench like toothache
[E]
Stood and [Am] puffed your chest out [G] like you'd never [C] lost a war
[E]
[Am] And though I tried so not [F] to suffer the [Am] indignity of [E] reaction
[Am] There was no cracks [G] to grasp or gaps [C] to claw
[E]
And [F] your pastimes [Dm] consisted of the strange, [A] the twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game you [F] had called crying [Dm] lightning
And how you [A] liked to aggravate the ice cream man on rainy [F] afternoons
Only [Dm] inviting, [A] but not of as impossible as everyone assumes
[F] You are [Dm] crying lightning
