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

INTRO:
[C#] [D#] [Fm] [Fm] / [C#] [D#] [Fm] [Fm]

VERSE 1:
Just a [C#/F] steel town girl on a [Fm6] Saturday night
Looking [Fm7] for the fight of her [FmMaj7] life
in the [C#] real time world no one [C#add9] sees her at all
they [D#sus2/C#] all say she's ^[C7sus4] crazy ^[C7]

VERSE 2:
Locking [C#/F] rhythm to the [Fm6] beat of her heart
Changing [Fm7] movement into [FmMaj7] light
She had [C#] danced into the [C#add9] danger zone
When the [D#sus2/C#] dancer becomes the ^[C7sus4] dance ^[C7]

PRE-CHORUS 1:
[A#7] It can cut you like a [C7] knife if the fight becomes the [C#] fire
On the wire between [C7] will and what will [C7] be

CHORUS:
She's a [C#] maniac, [D#] maniac on the [Fm] floor [Fm]
And she's [C#] dancing like she's [D#] never danced be-[Fm]-fore [Fm]
She's a [C#] maniac, [D#] maniac on the [Fm] floor [Fm]
And she's [C#] dancing like she's [D#] never danced be-[A#9]-fore [A#9]

VERSE 3:
On the [C#/F] ice blue line of in-[Fm6]-sanity
is a [Fm7] place most never [FmMaj7] see
It's a [C#] hard won place of [C#add9] mystery
[D#sus2/C#] touch it but can't ^[C7sus4] hold it ^[C7]

VERSE 4:
You [C#/F] work all your life, for that [Fm6] moment in time
It could [Fm7] come or pass you [FmMaj7] by
it's a [C#] push shove world but there's [C#add9] always a chance
if the [D#sus2/C#] hunger stays the ^[C7sus4] night ^[C7]

PRE-CHORUS:
[A#7] There's a cold kinetic [C7] heat struggling stretching for the [C#] peak
Never stopping with her head [C7] against the [C7] wind

REPEAT CHORUS:

BREAK: [C#] ^[C7][Fm] [C#] ^[C7][Fm]
