        Am (x02210@1)         G (320003@1)      C (x32010@1)   G#On (xx1114@1)the last of your pick and mix

                                 Am (x02210@1)           FSaid (133211@1)you're mistaken if you're thinking that I haven't been caught
Am (x02210@1)         Ecold (022100@1)before
       Am (x02210@1)            G (320003@1)        C (x32010@1)   G#As (xx1114@1)you bit into your strawberry lace

Is all you had left and it was going to waste

AmYour (x02210@1)past-times, consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I love that little game you had called
Crying lightning
And how you like to aggravate the ice-cream man on rainy afternoons
