G#
You were with your friends, partying
         D#             Cm
When the alcohol kicked in
                   D#
Said you wanted me dead
         G#
So, you showed up at my home, all alone
        D#          Cm
With a shovel and a rose
                    D#
Do you think I'm a joke?

       G#
'Cause people like you always
                           A#
want back what they can't have
But I'm past that and you know that
        G#
So you should turn back to your
                        A#
rat pack tellin' 'em trash

Chorus:
                   G#
Tell all of your friends that
I'm crazy and drive you mad
                 D#                     A#
That I'm such a stalker, a watcher, a psychopath
                    G#
Then tell them you hate me
and dated me just for laughs
                D#                      A#
So, why do you call me and tell me you want me back?
You maniac

G#
(Maniac, some may say that I'm a) You maniac
D#        A#
(Maniac, some may say that I'm a) You maniac
G#
(Maniac, some may say that I'm a) You maniac
D#        A#
(Maniac, some may say that I'm a)

You just went too far
Wrecked your car, called me cryin' in the dark
Now you're breakin' my heart
So I show up at your place right away
Wipe the tears off of your face
While you beg me to stay, well

People like you always want back what they can't have
But I'm past that and you know that
So you should turn back to your rat pack,
tell 'em I'm trash

Chorus

(Maniac, some may say) You maniac
(Maniac, some may say) You maniac
(Maniac, some may say) You maniac
(Maniac, some may say)

Fm            G#
Psychopathic, don't be so dramatic
D#            A#
We had magic, but you made it tragic
Fm                G#
Now you're manic, honestly, I've had it
D#                             A#
Listen to yourself, think you need to get some help

Chorus

(Maniac, some may say) You maniac
(Maniac, some may say) You maniac
(Maniac, some may say) You maniac
(Maniac, some may say)
