Am (x02210@1)        F (133211@1)         Am (x02210@1)           EOutside (022100@1)the cafe by the cracker factory
         Am (x02210@1)         G (320003@1)   C (x32010@1)   EYou (022100@1)were practicing a magic trick
       Am (x02210@1)         F (133211@1)          Am (x02210@1)       EAnd (022100@1)my thoughts got rude, as you talked and chewed
       Am (x02210@1)         G (320003@1)      C (x32010@1) EOn (022100@1)the last of your pick and mix

AmYour (x02210@1)past-times, consisted of the strange

Crying lightning

And how you like to aggravate the ice-cream man on rainy afternoons

Am (x02210@1)          FThe (133211@1)next time that I caught my own reflection
       Am (x02210@1)           EIt (022100@1)was on it's way to meet you
Am (x02210@1)        G (320003@1)            C (x32010@1)  EThinking (022100@1)of excuses to postpone

                    Am (x02210@1)               G (320003@1)          C (x32010@1) ESaw (022100@1)them, puff your chest out like you never lost a war
             Am (x02210@1)          F (133211@1)           Am (x02210@1)          EAnd (022100@1)though I try so not to suffer the indignity of a reaction
          Am (x02210@1)         G (320003@1)              C (x32010@1)  EThere (022100@1)was no cracks to grasp or gaps to claw

F (133211@1)            Dm (xx0231@1)

F (133211@1)  DmUninviting (xx0231@1)    Am (x02210@1)But not half as impossible as everyone assumes
