 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 you're thinking that I haven't 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
[Chorus]
Am
Your past-times, consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged And I love that little game you had called Crying lightning And how you like to aggravate the ice-cream man on rainy afternoons Am (Strum Once) [Verse 2]
                      Am               F
The next time that I caught my own reflection

       Am              E
It was on it's 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       G#
There was no cracks to grasp or gaps to claw
[Chorus]
        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
[Instrumental] Am [Bridge]
             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
[Interlude]
        Dm            Am
Crying lightning

        Am            F
Crying lightning

        Dm            Am
Crying lightning

        Am
Crying lightning
[Chorus]
    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
