[Intro]
AmFAmE AmGCE
[Verse]
AmFAmE Outside the cafe by the cracker factory AmGCE You were practicing a magic trick AmFAmE And my thoughts got rude, as you talked and chewed AmGCE On the last of your pick and mix
AmF Said you-re mistaken if you're thinking that I haven't been caught AmE cold before AmGCE As you bit into your strawberry lace AmFAmE And then a flip in your attention in the form of a gobstopper AmGCE Is all you had left and it was going to waste
[Chorus 1]
Am Your past-times, consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I love that little game you had called Am Crying lightning
And how you like to aggravate the ice-cream man on rainy afternoons
Am (Strum Once)
[Verse]
AmF The next time that I caught my own reflection AmE It was on it's way to meet you AmGCE Thinking of excuses to postpone AmF You never look like yourself from the side AmE But your profile could not hide AmGCE The fact you knew I was approaching your throne
AmFAm With folded arms you occupied the bench like toothache EAmGCE Stood and puffed your chest out like you never lost a war AmFAmE And though I tried so not to suffer the indignity of a reaction AmGCE There was no cracks to grasp or gaps to claw
[Chorus 2]
FDm And your past-times, consisted of the strange Am And twisted and deranged AmF And I hate that little game you had called Dm Crying lightning AmF And how you like to aggravate the icky man on rainy afternoons Dm Uninviting Am But not half as impossible as everyone assumes FDm You are crying lightning
[Instrumental]
Am
[Bridge]
AmDm Oh you were reading a book about some idiot FE And telling me about another AmDm I was so severely underwhelmed FE 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
AmDm Well we might not be the perfect partners FE But tonight we make a pair
AmAm Your past-times, consisted of the strange Am And twisted and deranged AmF And I hate that little game you had called
