[Verse 1] 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

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 AmGCG# There was no cracks to grasp or gaps to claw

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
