[Verse]
                        Am             
Outside the cafe by the cracker factory
         A7           G          
You were practicing a magic trick
       A7           F           A7               
And my thoughts got rude as you talked and chewed
                    Am       C  
On the last of your pick and mix
                        Am                                                    
Said You're mistaken if you're thinking that I haven't been called cold before
                                C   
As you bit into your strawberry lace
Am                                                            
And then offered me your attention in the form of a gobstopper
                                        C    
Is all you had left and it was going to waste
Am                                    
Your pastimes consisted of the strange
    Am                  
And twisted and deranged
                                    A7    
And I love that little game you had called
       A7       
Crying Lightning
                                  Am              A7    Am        
And how you like to aggravate the icecream man on rainy afternoons


[Chorus]
                     Am                      
The next time that I caught my own reflection
   A7                         
It was on it's way to meet you
            G          D7      
Thinking of excuses to postpone
                      A7                F   
You never looked like yourself from the side
         A7                Am  
But your profile could not hide
                                    C          
The fact you knew I was approaching your throne


[Verse]
            Am       F                                
With folded arms you occupied the bench like toothache
E                     A7                              D7 
Stood and puffed your chest out like you never lost a war
             A7              F          A7                     
And though I tried so not to suffer the indignity of a reaction
                                     C      
There was no cracks to grasp or gaps to claw


[Chorus]
    F             Dm                      
And your pastimes consisted of the strange
Am                      
And twisted and deranged
                                    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             Am                                             F  
Uninviting But not half as impossible as everyone assumes you are
       Dm
