Te chords are fingerpicked in the song, but it sounds good just strumming along too!
[Verse 1]
G#m B E G#m B
I can't get out of my bed, think there's magnets in my mattress
E G#m
Might as well just be a casket for all I care
B E
Oh no, here we go again
G#m B
The bad thoughts are creeping in
E
The bad thoughts are creeping in
G#m B E
When I feel crazy, I hide it, then fall apart in private
G#m B E
Where my mirror's the only one who sees my tears
G#m B E
There's a method to my sadness, it's a chemical imbalance
G#m B E
And my head is damaged way beyond repair
[Pre-Chorus 1]
G#m B E
I'm a manic depressive, passive aggressive, emotionally repressed
G#m B E
Introverted extroverted, melancholic, alcoholic mess
G#m B E
I wish my inner thoughts were dinner conversation
G#m B E
I wished on every star and every constellation
[Chorus]
G#m B E
Oh, manic, oh, manic, oh (I'm a manic depressive)
G#m B E
Oh, manic, oh, manic, oh (I'm a manic depressive)
G#m B E
Oh, manic, oh, manic, oh (I'm a manic depressive)
G#m B E
Oh, manic, oh, manic, oh (I'm a manic depressive)
[Verse 2]
G#m B E
Some days, I wish I was dead
G#m B
Think I'm broken, I can't fix it
E G#m
It's an intangible sickness, but it's there
B E
Oh no, here we go again
G#m B
The bad thoughts are creeping in
E
The bad thoughts are creeping in
G#m B E
So I wrestle my demons 'til I go off the deep end
G#m B E
Where I'm drowning and I can't come up for air
G#m B E
I've tried every medication and I've gone in hibernation
G#m B E
Hiding in my room like a bipolar bear
[Pre-Chorus 2]
G#m B
I'm obsessive, compulsive, and self-destructive
E
Hey, what did you expect?
G#m B E
Narcissistic and neurotic, I'm just one big ball of stress
G#m B E
I wish my inner thoughts were dinner conversation
G#m B E
I wished on every star and every constellation
G#m B E
I wish that I was calm and wasn't always anxious
G#m B
The bad thoughts are creeping in
E
The bad thoughts are creeping in, oh
G#m B
The bad thoughts are creeping in
E
The bad thoughts are creeping in, oh
G#m B
The bad thoughts are creeping in
E
The bad thoughts are creeping in
[Chorus]
G#m B E
Oh, manic, oh, manic, oh (I'm a manic depressive)
G#m B E
Oh, manic, oh, manic, oh (I'm a manic depressive)
G#m B E
Oh, manic, oh, manic, oh (I'm a manic depressive) (Creeping in)
G#m B E
Oh, manic, oh, manic, oh (I'm a manic depressive)
[Outro]
G#m B
The bad thoughts are creeping in
E
The bad thoughts are creeping in, oh
G#m B
The bad thoughts are creeping in
E
The bad thoughts are creeping in, oh
G#m B
The bad thoughts are creeping in
E
The bad thoughts are creeping in, oh
G#m B
The bad thoughts are creeping in
E
The bad thoughts are creeping in, oh
