Chorus 1
Am
Your pastimes, 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

It was on it's way to meet you
Am

Thinking of excuses to postpone
E/G#
Am
F
You never looked like yourself from the side
Am
E
But your profile could not hide
Am
The fact you knew I was

approaching your throne
E/G#
Am
With folded arms you
F
Am
occupied the bench like toothache
E
Am
Stood and puffed your chest out like you
G
C
never lost a war
E/G#
Am
F
And though I tried so not to suffer
Am
E
the indignity of a reaction
Am
G
There was no cracks to grasp
C

or gaps to claw

And your pastimes,

consisted of the strange

And I hate that little game you had called

And how you like to aggravate
the icky man on rainy afternoons

Uninviting

But not half as impossible as

everyone assumes you are
