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

INTRO:
[F] [G] [Am] [Am] / [F] [G] [Am] [Am]

VERSE 1:
Just a [F/A] steel town girl on a [Am6] Saturday night
Looking [Am7] for the fight of her [AmMaj7] life
in the [F] real time world no one [Fadd9] sees her at all
they [Gsus2/F] all say she's ^[E7sus4] crazy ^[E7]

VERSE 2:
Locking [F/A] rhythm to the [Am6] beat of her heart
Changing [Am7] movement into [AmMaj7] light
She had [F] danced into the [Fadd9] danger zone
When the [Gsus2/F] dancer becomes the ^[E7sus4] dance ^[E7]

PRE-CHORUS 1:
[D7] It can cut you like a [E7] knife if the fight becomes the [F] fire
On the wire between [E7] will and what will [E7] be

CHORUS:
She's a [F] maniac, [G] maniac on the [Am] floor [Am]
And she's [F] dancing like she's [G] never danced be-[Am]-fore [Am]
She's a [F] maniac, [G] maniac on the [Am] floor [Am]
And she's [F] dancing like she's [G] never danced be-[D9]-fore [D9]

VERSE 3:
On the [F/A] ice blue line of in-[Am6]-sanity
is a [Am7] place most never [AmMaj7] see
It's a [F] hard won place of [Fadd9] mystery
[Gsus2/F] touch it but can't ^[E7sus4] hold it ^[E7]

VERSE 4:
You [F/A] work all your life, for that [Am6] moment in time
It could [Am7] come or pass you [AmMaj7] by
it's a [F] push shove world but there's [Fadd9] always a chance
if the [Gsus2/F] hunger stays the ^[E7sus4] night ^[E7]

PRE-CHORUS:
[D7] There's a cold kinetic [E7] heat struggling stretching for the [F] peak
Never stopping with her head [E7] against the [E7] wind

REPEAT CHORUS:

BREAK: [F] ^[E7][Am] [F] ^[E7][Am]
