Arctic Monkeys - Crying Lightning

Intro: Am F Am E
       Am G C E

 Am          F            Am          E
Outside the cafe by the cracker factory
            Am         G      C  E
You were practicing a magic trick
         Am          F            Am          E
and my thoughts got rude, as you talked and chewed
        Am           G        C E
On the last of your pick and mix
 
                                 Am             F
Said you’re mistaken if you're thinking that I haven't been caught
Am         E
cold before
       Am              G          C  E
as you bit into your strawberry lace
                           Am             F         Am        E
and then a flip in your attention in the form of a gobstopper
                Am              G         C    E
Is all you had left and it was going to waste

 Am          F            Am    
Your past-times, consisted of the strange
      E
and twisted and deranged
             Am         G      C         E
and I love that little game you had called crying lightning
         Am          F    Am  E
and how you like to aggravate 
        Am           G        C E
the ice-cream man on rainy afternoons

Am (Strum Once)

                      Am               F
The next time that I caught my own reflection
       Am              E
It was on it's way to meet you
Am             G        C    E
Thinking of excuses to postpone
                     Am                F
You never look like yourself from the side
          Am                E
but your profile could not hide
             Am             G         C    E
The fact you knew I was approaching your throne

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

        F               Dm
and your past-times, consisted of the strange
     Am
and twisted and deranged
      Am                                 F
and I hate that little game you had called
        Dm
crying lightning
                    Am                                         F
and how you like to aggravate the icky man on rainy afternoons
    Dm
Uninviting
    Am
but not half as impossible as everyone assumes
       F       Dm
You are crying lightning

Am

             Am                  Dm
Oh you were reading a book about some idiot
     F                  E
and telling me about another

      Am          Dm
I was so severely underwhelmed
             F            E
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

        Am                Dm
Well we might not be the perfect partners
       F               E
but tonight we make a pair

Am                   Am
Your past-times, consisted of the strange
      Am
and twisted and deranged         
       Am                               F
and I hate that little game you had called

        Dm     Am
crying lightning
        Am     F
crying lightning
        Dm     Am
crying lightning
        Am
crying lightning

    F                Dm
Your past-times, consisted of the strange
     Am
and twisted and deranged
       Am                               F
and I hate that little game you had called
       Dm
