Michael Sembello, Maniac (1983)
Key: :[F#m] (w: Dennis Matkosky, Michael Sembello) (BPM: 160 / 00-A) (Original Key: D#m)

INTRO:
[D] [E] [F#m] [F#m] / [D] [E] [F#m] [F#m]

VERSE 1:
Just a [D/F#] steel town girl on a [F#m6] Saturday night
Looking [F#m7] for the fight of her [F#mMaj7] life
in the [D] real time world no one [Dadd9] sees her at all
they [Esus2/D] all say she's ^[C#7sus4] crazy ^[C#7]

VERSE 2:
Locking [D/F#] rhythm to the [F#m6] beat of her heart
Changing [F#m7] movement into [F#mMaj7] light
She had [D] danced into the [Dadd9] danger zone
When the [Esus2/D] dancer becomes the ^[C#7sus4] dance ^[C#7]

PRE-CHORUS 1:
[B7] It can cut you like a [C#7] knife if the fight becomes the [D] fire
On the wire between [C#7] will and what will [C#7] be

CHORUS:
She's a [D] maniac, [E] maniac on the [F#m] floor [F#m]
And she's [D] dancing like she's [E] never danced be-[F#m]-fore [F#m]
She's a [D] maniac, [E] maniac on the [F#m] floor [F#m]
And she's [D] dancing like she's [E] never danced be-[B9]-fore [B9]

VERSE 3:
On the [D/F#] ice blue line of in-[F#m6]-sanity
is a [F#m7] place most never [F#mMaj7] see
It's a [D] hard won place of [Dadd9] mystery
[Esus2/D] touch it but can't ^[C#7sus4] hold it ^[C#7]

VERSE 4:
You [D/F#] work all your life, for that [F#m6] moment in time
It could [F#m7] come or pass you [F#mMaj7] by
it's a [D] push shove world but there's [Dadd9] always a chance
if the [Esus2/D] hunger stays the ^[C#7sus4] night ^[C#7]

PRE-CHORUS:
[B7] There's a cold kinetic [C#7] heat struggling stretching for the [D] peak
Never stopping with her head [C#7] against the [C#7] wind

REPEAT CHORUS:

BREAK: [D] ^[C#7][F#m] [D] ^[C#7][F#m]

REPEAT PRE-CHORUS 1:

REPEAT CHORUS: [multiple times]
