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

INTRO:
[G#] [A#] [Cm] [Cm] / [G#] [A#] [Cm] [Cm]

VERSE 1:
Just a [G#/C] steel town girl on a [Cm6] Saturday night
Looking [Cm7] for the fight of her [CmMaj7] life
in the [G#] real time world no one [G#add9] sees her at all
they [A#sus2/G#] all say she's ^[G7sus4] crazy ^[G7]

VERSE 2:
Locking [G#/C] rhythm to the [Cm6] beat of her heart
Changing [Cm7] movement into [CmMaj7] light
She had [G#] danced into the [G#add9] danger zone
When the [A#sus2/G#] dancer becomes the ^[G7sus4] dance ^[G7]

PRE-CHORUS 1:
[F7] It can cut you like a [G7] knife if the fight becomes the [G#] fire
On the wire between [G7] will and what will [G7] be

CHORUS:
She's a [G#] maniac, [A#] maniac on the [Cm] floor [Cm]
And she's [G#] dancing like she's [A#] never danced be-[Cm]-fore [Cm]
She's a [G#] maniac, [A#] maniac on the [Cm] floor [Cm]
And she's [G#] dancing like she's [A#] never danced be-[F9]-fore [F9]

VERSE 3:
On the [G#/C] ice blue line of in-[Cm6]-sanity
is a [Cm7] place most never [CmMaj7] see
It's a [G#] hard won place of [G#add9] mystery
[A#sus2/G#] touch it but can't ^[G7sus4] hold it ^[G7]

VERSE 4:
You [G#/C] work all your life, for that [Cm6] moment in time
It could [Cm7] come or pass you [CmMaj7] by
it's a [G#] push shove world but there's [G#add9] always a chance
if the [A#sus2/G#] hunger stays the ^[G7sus4] night ^[G7]
