 Outside the cafe by the cracker factory
         
LAm          
FA     
DO    
MI
You were practicing a magic trick
       
LAm          
FA           
LAm        
MI7
And my thoughts got rude, as you talked and chewed
       
LAm          
FA       
DO   
MI
On the last of your pick and mix
                           
LAm
Said your mistaken if your thinking 
       
FA                  
LAm        
MI7
that I haven't been caught cold before
       
LAm           
FA          
DO    
MI
As you bit into your strawberry lace
                         
LAm        
And then a flip in your attention 
       
FA         
LAm      
MI7     
in the form of a gobstopper
                
LAm             
FA       
DO    
MI
Is all you have left and it was going to waste

LAm
 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...

                     
LAm           
FA
The next time that I caught my own reflection
       
LAm            
MI7
It was on it's way to meet you
LAm         
FA          
DO      
MI
Thinking of excuses to postpone
                    
LAm               
FA
You never look like yourself from the side
         
LAm             
MI7
But your profile did not hide
             
LAm         
FA          
DO        
MI
The fact you knew I was approaching your throne
            
LAm          
FA                
LAm      
With folded arms you occupy the bench like toothache
MI7                 
LAm
Saw them, puff your chest out 
         
FA           
DO  
MI
like you never lost a war
             
LAm           
FA        
And though I try so not to suffer 
      
LAm            
MI7
the indignity of a reaction
          
LAm          
FA               
DO    
MI
There was no cracks to grasp or gaps to claw

        
FA              
REm
And your past-times, consisted of the strange
    
LAm
And twisted and deranged
                                     
FA
And I hate that little game you had called
       
REm
Crying lightning
                    
LAm
And how you like to aggravate the icky man 

on rainy afternoons

FA      
REm
   Uninviting
    
LAm
But not half as impossible as everyone assumes
      
FA       
REm         
LAm
You are crying lightning...

LAm
...Your past-times, consisted of the strange

And twisted and deranged

And I hate that little game you had called
