Manic Upswings

D   D   G   A

[Verse 1]

D              D
I wanna wake up
         G                   A
From the rattlesnake nightmare
D                 D               G
I've been living, I've been living
                  A               D   D   G
If you could even call this living
A              D   D   G   A
Living without you
D                    D
I betray myself this time of night
G        A
Why am I like this?
D                      D
Maybe it's because I'm too afraid
   G       A               D   D   G
To face my reality without you
A               D   D   G   A
Reality without you

[Chorus]

Em                  G     A
I looked for you in every bottle
Em                  G    A
And still couldn't find you
Em                G        A
I pray for you in downward spirals
Em                       G
I never could figure you out
A                         D   D   G   A
Never could figure you out


[Instrumental]

D   D   G   A

[Verse 2]

D                    D
Year after year, you drifted away
G          A
Off in the distance
D         D
Silently adjusting
G        A         D    D    G
Your way out of my life
A         D   D   G   A
Out of my life

[Chorus]

Em                  G     A
I looked for you in every bottle
Em                 G    A
And still couldn't find you
Em               G    A
My pentagram, my holy bible
Em                       G
I never could figure you out
A                         D   D   G   A
Never could figure you out

[Instrumental]

D   D   G   A

[Outro]

Em           G         A         Em
I see you in psychotic daydreams
    Em          G    A
And still never knew you
Em               G     A
You send me into manic upswings
Em                       G
I never could figure you out
A                         D   D   G
Never could figure you out
A                         D   D   G   A
Never could figure you out
