                                                              G7    C    
Outside the café by the cracker factory you were practicin' a magic trick
       A7                                        
And my thoughts got rude as you talked and chewed
                    G       C  
On the last of your pick'n' mix
                        Am                                                      
Said You're mistaken if you're thinkin' that I haven't been called 'cold' before
                                C   
As you bit into your strawberry lace
Am                                                        
Then offered me your attention in the form of a gobstopper
                                          C    
It's all you had left and it was goin' to waste


[Chorus]
A7        Am                            
Your past times consisted of the strange
    Am                  
And twisted and deranged
      Am                                                    
And I loved that little game you had called Crying Lightning
                    Am                                            
And how you like to aggravate the icecream man on rainy afternoons
                     Am                      
The next time that I caught my own reflection
Am                           
It was on its way to meet you
                       C       
Thinkin' of excuses to postpone
                      Am                    
You never looked like yourself from the side
         Am                    
But your profile could not hide
                        G7          C          
The fact you knew I was approachin' your throne


[Verse]
            Am   A7                                   
With folded arms you occupied the bench like toothache
                      A7                                   
Stood and puffed your chest out like you'd never lost a war
             A7                                                
And though I tried so not to suffer the indignity of a reaction
      A7                                    
There was no cracks to grasp or gaps to claw


[Chorus]
    F               Dm                      
And your past times consisted of the strange
    Am7                 
And twisted and deranged
                                    F             Dm       
And I hate that little game you had called Crying Lightning
                    Am                              F         
And how you like to aggravate the icky man on rainy afternoons
Dm         Am7                                                F          Dm        Am
Uninvitin' But not half as impossible as everyone assumes you are crying lightning ■ 


[Solo]
     Am                                 
Your past times consisted of the strange
Am                  
Twisted and deranged


[Chorus]
                                           F        Dm       
And I hate that little game you had called ■ Crying Lightning
Am                 
■  Crying Lightning
F        Dm       
■ Crying Lightning
Am                 
■  Crying Lightning
F               Dm                      
Your past times consisted of the strange
    Am                  
And twisted and deranged
                                    F      D     
And I hate that little game you had called Crying
