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

INTRO:
[D#] [F] [Gm] [Gm] / [D#] [F] [Gm] [Gm]

VERSE 1:
Just a [D#/G] steel town girl on a [Gm6] Saturday night
Looking [Gm7] for the fight of her [GmMaj7] life
in the [D#] real time world no one [D#add9] sees her at all
they [Fsus2/D#] all say she's ^[D7sus4] crazy ^[D7]

VERSE 2:
Locking [D#/G] rhythm to the [Gm6] beat of her heart
Changing [Gm7] movement into [GmMaj7] light
She had [D#] danced into the [D#add9] danger zone
When the [Fsus2/D#] dancer becomes the ^[D7sus4] dance ^[D7]

PRE-CHORUS 1:
[C7] It can cut you like a [D7] knife if the fight becomes the [D#] fire
On the wire between [D7] will and what will [D7] be

CHORUS:
She's a [D#] maniac, [F] maniac on the [Gm] floor [Gm]
And she's [D#] dancing like she's [F] never danced be-[Gm]-fore [Gm]
She's a [D#] maniac, [F] maniac on the [Gm] floor [Gm]
And she's [D#] dancing like she's [F] never danced be-[C9]-fore [C9]

VERSE 3:
On the [D#/G] ice blue line of in-[Gm6]-sanity
is a [Gm7] place most never [GmMaj7] see
It's a [D#] hard won place of [D#add9] mystery
[Fsus2/D#] touch it but can't ^[D7sus4] hold it ^[D7]

VERSE 4:
You [D#/G] work all your life, for that [Gm6] moment in time
It could [Gm7] come or pass you [GmMaj7] by
it's a [D#] push shove world but there's [D#add9] always a chance
if the [Fsus2/D#] hunger stays the ^[D7sus4] night ^[D7]

PRE-CHORUS:
[C7] There's a cold kinetic [D7] heat struggling stretching for the [D#] peak
Never stopping with her head [D7] against the [D7] wind

REPEAT CHORUS:

BREAK: [D#] ^[D7][Gm] [D#] ^[D7][Gm]
