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:
