lyrics
I’m a (A7) maniacal man with (D7) maniacal dreams
I (A7) wake up in the night with (D7) maniacal screams
I (Bm7) get up in the morning I (F#m) feel I haven’t slept
I (Bm7) try to hide the crazy but I’m (F#m) maniacally inept
at (A7) trying to pass for human so I’ll (D7) disappear instead
into a (A7) syncopated rhythm and it’s (D7) rushing through my head
refrain:
and (E7) I can (C#m) sing
words (D7) that don’t mean a (E7) thing
maniacal (C#m) song
(D7) finally I be- (E7) long
You (A7) know I’m just a boy who holds (D7) onto broken dreams
gotta (A7) pocket full of hope that’s (D7) bustin’ at the seams
and a (Bm7) flash of inspiration de- (F#m) scends from the sky
and it (Bm7) fuels that maniacal (F#m) look in my eye
and my (A7) foot starts to tap and my (D7) hands start to clap
I (A7) know I’ve told my story but I’ve (D7) got to recap
I’m (A7) looking for a lover who’s (D7) looking for a friend
I’m (A7) looking for the answer to the (D7) question of the end
I’m (Bm7) looking in the mirror I can (F#m) see into my soul
those (Bm7) maniacal urges I (F#m) simply can’t control
so (A7) I just give in (D7) and I set free
(A7) this maniacal (D7) melody
